"Speaking French in the workplace is legally required"
I don't think that's true, this is a big misconception. Unless you're working in a shop or something where you interact with clients directly you don't have to speak French. I work for a multinationale that have over 1000 employees in Montréal and everybody speaks English internally same fory previous job a small company of 40ish people
English isn't disallowed, but broadcast emails must be also in French, as well as posters, and HR materials, and so on. The OQLF was on our case about a copier that was English-only during our last inspection.
yeah I hear you and while I totally disagree with OQLF practices in the grand scheme of things I don't think it's a big deal, especially for a tech companies ... most of the posters/HR stuff is probably done by bilingual people anyways. The real shortage/competition is for engineers.
