Eastern European consultants not good enough for the UK

How rude!

Unlike teenagers adults learn you don't write exactly how you speak unless you are writing a novel or a poem.

Oh and I had a Polish builder whose level of written English was better than a Polish colleague I working with at the time.

There are posts here that I need to read several times to understand (I prefer not to identify them) and others (and long ones) I only need to read once.

Why is that

They probably had a Yorkshireman teach them English.

No. That would read 'when t'customer receives t'statement'.

Not that I am an expert in European law but I think prejudicing against EU citizens or companies is probably illegal.

Problem is contractors in the UK (can't comment on abroad) basically don't have any legal protections.

The Equality Act plus Health and Safety legislation do apply to us. However like with employees good luck in trying to prove your case against a larger business.....

It's because you didn't learn English as a small kid. I have foreign family and friends' who did and they have no problem with slang, accents and broken English. Even worse some of them aren't just bilingual they are multilingual...

This was the irony with the previous client. They wanted cheap on shored resource but also perfect documentation.

As an example of what was happening, instead of 'when the customer receives the statement', they would get 'when customer receives statement'. Although it was understandable, it wasn't great to read.

...ah..you mean subtle nuances and such…(like for example confusing “ironic” with “paradoxical”?)
