That's why they pay me the big bucks!

Don't forget, evolve and mitigate expeditiously, or they'll shift your scheduling parameters to holdover mode. (You'll be working nights and weekends.)
 
I'd either quit (actually prolly wouldn't start working there in the first place), or ask him to speak English.

It's all part of the corporate culture

...a paradigm shift

identifying your customers

giving out Kudos to deserving team members

all the time concentrating on Quality

and cost benefit outcomes

and that thing about finding the cheese or something like that
