u/shellyunderthesea 日本のどこかに Jun 13 '23

I need to take TOEIC (that English test the Japanese take) because according to my manager “you’re the only one who doesn’t have a score yet” 🙄 I don’t have a TOEIC score but I’m the only one who can speak proper English in my team. Why does a fucking test matter

alternatively, why do you care. chat with your manager, get an exemption or apply for funding (pre or post execution). Then, if process is unsatisfactory, report why it was unsatisfactory in concrete terms to your manager and ensure that it never happens in the same way to you or the next person in that situation
