[quote=Anonymous]I work for a construction support company in Annanadale that employs a lot of misfit toys. Everybody needs a job and I applaud the owner's 'charity', but it is often trying.

Take, for instance, Mark. Mark is a new hire of 3 months. Mark is older (66), not incredibly spry-takes a good 6 minutes and a dozen curse words to climb a flight of steps- and is not a fast learner on the easiest of things- like how to use Outlook. This, despite teaching him for probably 10 minutes a day, every day, for the last two months. He's charming in a clueless dad sorta way, but he's just exhausting. I can't take it amymore.

I've just looked at my shared calendar to get an idea what tomorrow will look like and he has, literally, put 5 or 10 reminders to himself on our shared project management calendar used by 15 people. It now reads like:

"Send water bill to American."
"Call vendor about project "
"Call Aunt Sue"
"Make sure invoice for X was paid"
"Dispute Chewy charge"
"Take pics of roof for Geico"

He can't grasp the concept that we use this calendar professionally to sheppard 7 figure projects to completion, not to make sure his Aunt Sue gets a birthday call.

In the past, when he's told of this he gets highly agitated and aggressive.

I don't have it in me anymore. Do I just can him? Make me feel OK with it.[/quote]
