When someone has a thiccc accent I usually just take notes down and just tell them at the end of the meeting “ to summarize we need to ...etc”
Just say slowing down. Are you new hire? That is totally reasonable
Been here 6 months but yeah first audit season
Cut your feelings out and politely ask them to slow down or repeat back to them to make sure you got it. You’re trying to do your job well and get better at it. Just say you want to make sure you’re getting it and they will understand/appreciate.
Yeah summarize notes and repeat a lot to them. If you don’t understand but really do t want to ask your senior to repeat it, then just say you are not sure you understand but need some time to think over. Then you can ask again the next day and won’t be tagged as “forgetting” things
If it isn’t in a formal meeting environment, I usually just cut in as soon as I start falling behind with something along the lines of “just to make sure I understand” and summarize what they say or ask a question to explain what was said so far to slow down the conversation
Take notes and repeat the request back to the senior to check your understanding. Say “I’d like to check my understanding - in summary, what you’re saying is....” This is a trick that works with clients too.
Say yo hold on how the f do you expect me to write that fast? I'd just be overjoyed that you're taking notes tbh
