I was always told it's a bit rude to use a language that not everyone present understands, since you're basically excluding people from the conversation. Your example seems a bit silly though.
Offense: "a bit rude"
Punishment: no job, bad references, no health insurance
imo in this case the offence wouldn’t be the “a bit rude” part: nobody likely got fired for speaking another language before the rule… the offence would be breaking company policy/rules
What's funny is no charge nurse is capable of getting you to the point of getting fired over this shit. They're just capable of making you want to quit. Management does not like spending money orienting new nurses.
