Ask HN: Learning multiple languages vs. mastering one

As I read your comments you may be right it's may be related to the performance and I don't want to face it.
What's annoyed me a lot is, the CTO had a meeting with most of us and I was there to tell us he is going to ask for pay raise to match the market and he did not mention any relation with work performance however the happy ending was not for all of us.

As I wrote in another comment, I would like to know how many are interested on this idea to see if the journey is worth to take.
