I can get by at work in my second language, handle emails, one-on-one chats, the everyday stuff. But the second a meeting speeds up, people talking over each other, jumping topics, cracking jokes, I fall behind. By the time I've figured out what I want to say, they've already moved on without me.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can communicate at work, but fast meetings and quick back-and-forth leave you behind.
