Working with people who cannot do their job correctly to save their life?

Yeah it's annoying, and in all my experiences it seems to be women, although there are also plenty of competent women in my field.

You can conduct all the training you want but it never sticks. Just wait it out till a better position comes along.

Yeah, it's always annoying for the burger flipper when the lettuce person gets it all wrong. Ruins all your hard work.

LOL AT THE STUNT DICK COMPLAINING ABOUT TALENT.

I really never thought this was a gender thing, but now that you mention it, 3/4 people I've worked with like this have been female. Like you, I've worked with plenty of competent women also though. Not sure if there's a correlation or it's just luck at this point.

Do you work here at Letsrun.com?

Why do you care? It is not your problem.

Incompetent men are just harder to read. Women tend to come right out with either the overwhelmed or the clueless vibe. Men tend to BS their way to making people think that they're doing more than they are. Acting busy and important while delegating every bit of actual work to underlings is the classic presentation of male ineptitude.

When I take a new job, I know which women suck at their jobs within the first week. With the incompetent men, sometimes it takes a month or so before I'm like "hey, that guy who's always too busy to be bothered has't actually produced anything in the entire time I've worked here."

What is your job description and title?

THANK YOU

There's a good reason women never start companies by themselves. They cannot work together. They need a male to lead them.

You should start acting like a boss. Tell her what to do, and follow it up with controls and evaluations. She will probably produce less, but the quality should go up.

You're a man. Be one.

Its called affirmative action. Get used to it.

This thread is incredibly sexist. Some people suck really bad at certain tasks, and its not just women. Usually its due to a lack of common sense, which is just something that can't be trained. With enough repetition, people can get anything, but give them a new task and their lack of common sense could whack it up again. People who don't know what they're doing tend to keep it quiet and hide.
