First of all, English is my first language, I’m in the US. However, in college I majored in Spanish with the idea of becoming a high school Spanish teacher. I am completely fluent in Spanish. That didn’t work out and after college I continued my work in the restaurant industry and now I work in logistics/warehousing.
My issue now is, my bosses want me to constantly translate specific projects/duties for some of our Spanish speaking employees. I typically don’t have a problem with this, especially for those on my team, but now it seems they’re taking advantage of it by taking me out of my department to go to other areas to train, translate, etc.
I already don’t get paid enough as it is, and my degree was expensive, and translators are generally very well paid. Pretty sure on Monday I’m just going to say to them that I forgot how to speak Spanish.
Any thoughts?
