LOL Most of the places I've worked I've been the only Spanish speaker and never got a dime for it but always wrote in the comment section of my annual review that I have continued to handle all the Spanish needed in the office, that being (list file numbers and names) of ad hoc interpretation for all clients who needed it, translated text both ways and wrote it up in a detailed report and had it stamped into the file. I knew I shouldn't do it but I was so committed to good service to the clients (and thus the people who paid us) and what's the point of learning something if you're not going to use it? Then I would spend the rest of the day singing Spanish songs to myself. Classic and modern. Ai ai ai ai, canto no llores.
The more the money increased, the better her Spanish got. LOL
The 'workplace' gets what it pays for!!
