Don't despair, it's going to improve eventually but it takes time. Those companies need to put effort into training their services specifically for accented speech - in the same way they do it for child voices etc. I'm pretty

I can't downvote yet so I'm not one of those who did - I was trying to give an explanation. I don't know the exact rules for downvoting but I assume some use it to say " not helpful".

Right - I also find it helpful to judge them for their actions in general, and not just for one stupid thing they may say.

Seems killing HR and management is not always a good idea... Nor is pretending that hierarchy doesn't exist when it still does (i.e. Theresa Preston-Werner's "I was the wife of the CEO, but that never entered my mind when I h
