Friday at 5:00 p.m. will be the best part

and the most frustrating part is training a person with no ability to comprehend instructions or retain training

@Pretzel Oof! I've dealt with that. I told my coworker, "I have never said, 'Like I told you to' so many times since I had been married."

I hope they key in soon.

@FoxyQueen I've told the person that there is a point where it will be a flash and you're realize you have it

I don't think it will happen with her.

Even written instructions are a challenge.

I haven't lost a trainee before but this one - even money they will make it.

@Pretzel Oh my goodness. Maybe she is just really nervous and anxious.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@FoxyQueen I considered that...But I can see from how she reads emails from others and needs them explained to her that she has trouble with reading and comprehending.

Don't know if she has an undiagnosed learning disability - I'm certainly no expert.

Even tried another person training her in small tasks and he has to walk her through it - repeatedly. Having the same results.

The job IS very technical and detailed and requires the use of a proprietary software package.

She's a nice person but we are both frustrated with her lack of understanding and progress.

@Pretzel Yeah, a detail oriented job sounds like it isn't for her. I'm sad for her and frustrated for you.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@FoxyQueen She's just about through the training program but I have to give monthly training reports and document her difficulties

I hate that part of the job - this is literally the first hire in 13 years that we made the wrong choice. She interviewed well - it's just the execution that's lacking
