I have a friend at work, I’ll call him O. O was born and raised in Ukraine, and moved here to Canada on work visa and got a job as an engineer.
During O’s contract, the war started, and with his contract finished, he had to get a job where I work (a grocery store) so he would not get deported back to Ukraine. He does his job well, but struggles a bit with English.
During a briefing from my boss, I was told to keep an eye on O. Manager told me they might fire him because he doesn’t speak English very well. He speaks English fine, but just has a very strong accent, in conversation, he may miss a few words, but you can understand him fine if you focus. When I told him that if he were to loose his job here he would be deported, boss told me to stop it and quit being so political.
TL:DR boss might get my friend deported back to a war zone because he struggles to understand his accent.
What can I do to help him?
