How to work with someone that regularly arrives as the wrong answer?
I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn’t a language barrier, and it’s not like they aren’t reading what someone wrote....
Do you like olives?
I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross....
Name a Superhero you just can't stand
