At my work, we have a sizeable Persian population, and the one (out of four total) managers who is from Iran takes every opportunity possible to speak Farsi to his staff in front of everyone.
While I'm not bitter enough to assume that I'm being discussed (except when I hear my name in their conversations), it really leaves those of us who don't speak it feeling rather excluded, something our GM even brought up (to no avail). Doesn't help that this particular manager re-defines the term "inept" too...
