--As a Guangzhouer I think the store manager's rule of prohibiting employees from speaking Cantonese at work is outrageous.

This incident has been going on for some time, and my Guangzhou friends around me are in a state of incomprehension about it. After all, for us Guangzhouers and even Cantonese people, Cantonese is a very commonly used language, and we even unconsciously speak it out of our mouths in order to better express our meaning of sentences.

Originally, Guangzhou Sushiro banned its employees from speaking Cantonese at work, and if they were caught speaking Cantonese in private, they would be severely punished and even fined, which attracted the attention of all the Guangzhou people, who couldn't understand the rules and regulations and were a bit angry. Later, the Sushi Lang store has issued an announcement that there is a misunderstanding, the ban on speaking Cantonese is not disrespectful to the Guangzhou people, but only for the better communication between colleagues at work, but for the Guangzhou people who often speak vernacular is still unacceptable. If a few words of Cantonese are inadvertently spoken during the workday and you have to be severely penalized or even fined, this practice is actually very easy to target Guangzhou people, even if there is no such targeting in the first place.

For example, if there is a major incident, an emergency, or a happy event in the company and we subconsciously speak a few words of Cantonese, and it so happens that the coworkers who are conversing with us also speak Cantonese, they also subconsciously talk to us, and even though the coworkers next to us don't understand, at least the content that we need to communicate has already been conveyed, and the coworkers who don't speak Cantonese will not be penalized. If the colleague who doesn't speak Cantonese is one of our important communication targets, we will use Putonghua to communicate again in a timely manner afterwards, if not, we just use Putonghua to simply reply to the meaning of what other people have just said, and even if we do, we will be severely penalized and fined, then I think there is something wrong with this rule. The reason is that communicating with Cantonese-speaking colleagues does not affect the work at all, and as Guangzhou people, the first language we want to use to communicate important information is naturally Cantonese, which is equivalent to our mother tongue and is the most widely used language in our daily life, so if we need to communicate with colleagues who don't speak Cantonese in Mandarin, we can do it very well. The fact that you can't speak Cantonese in your own language is a good thing, but it's also a good thing that you can understand what you're saying in your own language.

And sushi lang store at once prohibited the use of Cantonese to communicate this is undoubtedly the formation of the Guangzhou people to communicate a kind of unconscious target, we will not because colleagues do not know Cantonese on the refusal to communicate with each other, when their own mandarin is not good, perhaps we will be another colleague through another colleague to the colleague to convey, but this does not mean that the colleague does not know Cantonese we will not be able to communicate, but this does not mean that the colleague will not be able to speak Cantonese, so that the colleague will not be able to speak Cantonese. But it doesn't mean that we don't communicate with our colleagues just because they don't speak Cantonese. If you think that if we don't translate every word we say in Cantonese into Mandarin to our colleagues, then there is a suspicion that we are hiding from our colleagues, cheating them or even insulting them behind their backs, then the rules and regulations that Sushi Lang has set up are really targeting at the Guangzhou people who are good in Cantonese but not good in Mandarin. And this kind of rules and regulations, including punishments and fines, is a very petty behavior.
