The only thing worse than working short handed is...

Training someone that just doesn't seem to be. Getting it. Asking the same questions repeatedly and 🚫 t following directions.

I would rather go back to being short handed.

@Pretzel can understand your point a little unfair to have to train somebody when numbers are down and short staffed it put pressure on . may take patience and the right help for your newbie he will come good and that is a feather in your cap as you have achieved this against bad working conditions and personal stress

@smiler2012 I genuinely believe that have either a learning disability or an issue with short term memory

my coworker and I have both told them many things several times and each time seems like the first time to them.

the job is very detailed oriented - it's been 30 days and by now people are pretty much self-sufficient and this one needs to be walked through the steps.

I'm going to get with my supervisor tomorrow - in another 30 days we may need to reevaluate their future.

@Pretzel yes it is good equal opportunities give people like these a chance in the workplace . but will disabilities they need more time and patience than other trainees , it is not fair to them or definitely you to be thrown in the deep end being expected to train them short staffed

@smiler2012 bear in mind that to my knowledge they are NOT learning disabled - I have no paperwork indicating that they have been evaulated or classified.

not everyone can do every job - in 30 days if there is not a noted improvement they will need to look elsewhere. the job is to mission critical. perhaps they can find a job elsewhere in the building. but I can't be expect to monitor their work for an extended period of time.

Preach It! Dah Worst. Or kind of the same thing.

They are just feigning it and trying their best not to show any aptitude for their actions, so they don't have to give it 100%.

And believe me, you people who might not have seen such behavior and are saying "No way". I was a heavily circulated core trainer at the factory where I worked. I did a lot of personal training in my 18 years there.

You can tell who is really trying, half assed trying, or not trying at all. If it is due to disabilities, whether it's a mental or physical ability. Some are just there to socialize and can't work and talk simultaneously.

But yeah, I agree 100% @Pretzel
