For those who work at global companies, does anyone have an incompetent teammate who works in another market, say Europe for example but they’re virtually impossible to fire so they just get to stay on being subpar? Sees seems like it’s an unsaid thing that everyone knows but there’s nothing that can be done.

Yep. I have a a few such colleagues. One was on my team. My boss is a bit of a blabber mouth sometime and shared that she’d been trying to get rid of him for 3 years before she finally succeeded. This was Europe. In another country, there’s only 1 CSM rather than 3. The other two were on LT sick leave for 9+ months. I don’t know the full situation but it seems the company didn’t know how long they’d be out for so didn’t hire anyone to cover. It was super hard to handle.

It’s like frustrating but I’m also jealous lol😂.

I haven't yet experienced that, but it sounds pretty frustrating. Unless, I'm actually the incompetent coworker everybody else is complaining about, lol. Just kidding. But that does genuinely sound very frustrating and I would question why there's nothing that could be done about it.

It’s legal, European laws protect employees better.

I work with incompetence both locally and globally! I question daily how some people have stuck around so long here.

funny

This is fair lol😂

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company.

I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.
