Dealing with inept people!

I can usually tell who starts a thread just by reading the header.
I thought that this was going to be about Darren Moore though Mick.

He's not just inept Des - he's super thick that's why he's a pundit now along with Rio and Cole ( two others as thick as pig s hit )

A few observations from my own experiences as both a former graduate and an employee. No slight intended to any posters on this thread. I repeat, they are observations taken from my own experiences. Poor employees are generally the result of poor recruitment, insufficient training and little to no mentoring. A good starting point is the application itself. Do the applicant and their qualifications/experiences fit the job description for the post I am looking to fill?

Next up, the interview process. Beware the articulate candidate who mirrors your body language and smiles a knowing smile. If they look like liars they generally are. Liars aren't to be trusted so don't employ them, graduates or not. Liars are like cuckoos in a nest, they blag their way through life feeding off those around them. They are a societal infestation and contaminate everything in their vicinity. I have worked with and attended courses with a number of articulate liars. They were complete w@nkers for the most part and a drain on my patience and personal resources.

As for qualifications they mean you were able to structure your time sufficiently to pass an exam or a series of assessments set by people who often haven't attained much of truly genuine note in the fields they set curriculums for. If they had they probably wouldn't be setting curriculums. They'd be more likely to be achieving even more or they'd have their feet up somewhere nice and warm with something cold on the go. They are often (but not always of course) well meaning w@nkers, but w@nkers nonetheless.

Once you've sorted the wheat from the chaff at the interview stage support your new employees and reap the rewards of their endeavours. Easier said than done in many instances as certain people are very hard work. It can take more effort than seems worthy but there's method to the madness. Sink or swim is an outdated mode of employment in most environments. It leads to perpetual recruitment, re training and is an avoidable expense to business. In my experience bosses who adhere to the sink or swim philosophy of employment are often bullying w@nkers who were bullied themselves at some point. That or they were simply buggered senseless either at home or at boarding school.

Blustering around raging at the inadequacies of others is not a good look, especially when the answer to quandaries such as 'why are you so bad at what you do?' can often be found in the mirror. I have worked for a number of bosses like this and I have zero time for them as either bosses or as human beings. In good old business jargon, get your ducks in a row (or they'll sh it all over the place). Remember, poor employees are generally the result of poor recruitment, insufficient training and little to no mentoring.

And others are just plain sh it at everything they do, good day all .

Albionic, why are you not at Boris’s side, as his special advisor?

Like this post 68 and spot on! This echos my point with the grads I know and have seen in very large successful blue chip companies who have been recruited by specialist graduate recruitment teams through rigorous interviews. They don’t usually get it wrong and grads have to meet strict targets and work all around the departments to get an in-depth knowledge of the business.

Where recruitment is poor then employers have to take the blame as much as those they employ. It’s knowN that a male interviewer in some companies will side with a gorgeous looking bird flashing a lovely smile as opposed to your fat bird who may be the best candidate. Also how can you say the definition of a grad is the same where let’s say one as been successful at John Lewis with 3000 applicants and 5 interviews as opposed to a little marketing company with 20 staff advertising what they call a grad position with a couple of interviews. Totally different and different levels.
