People who can't do a job
<rant>
My team has a team member who is useless.
A manager interviewed him and didn't pull any technical person in to ask technical questions.
During his probation, stated he can't do the job he was employed for (IBM MQ).
He doesn't understand the basic concepts
He takes 3 weeks to do a 2 hour job badly and then gets praise for it (WTF?)
Our Oracle administrator has learnt more about it from me repeating the same thing over and over that I could now teach her the basics in about 1 day.
He's still with us, I've just left him to fail.
He screwed up a config so badly it caused an outage for a customer and done the opposite of what he was told to do, in this particular environment, the director has said he is not permitted to make config changes in the production environment rather negating what he was employed to do.
Basically, he can't handle as a full time job what was 10% of what I done.
