BRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKLLLLLYYYYYNNNN
A lot of analyst roles are throwing that python and power BI experience (x number of years required) out there. Fuq those jobs, I feel like those are setups to fail if you don't know how to jump on a 6.0 treadmill and maintain the pace and go. Some of these corporate jobs suck diq. I'm trying to find a bunch of easy remote jobs and rack up.

We need more details -

Did she get previous verbal warnings, write-ups, etc.?

Is her contingent upon other tasks being completed - coworker or department wise?
no warnings, no writeups.

yes her work is contingent on other task to be completed. But my manager likes to hurry tasks along or fins ways to hurry tasks along. So quite a few of tasks have been underestimated.

Why do jobs do this? You cant ask for too much help and you cant ask for too little help.
If you need help speak up. She deserved to get the boot if she fukking shyt up & was advised to reach out if unsure.

Either she was unsure or just didn’t know her job. How long has she worked there?

True but the thing is, tableau or power bi experience. Being able to complete that depends on the data being correc.

if you have to write a bunch of custom queries and validate the query results then its going to take a long ass time to do.

Not enough information.

A fukk up cam be small but costly if it causes you to miss certain deadlines.

How often does she make these mistakes. What wad her response towards feedback.

If they hired her in August, she should still be within her probation period. Enough time to determine she isn't what they want.

She didn’t get fired for “not asking for help”. She got fired because she didn’t complete her job which in turn made everyone else’s job harder/more timely and thus more expensive. All due to ineptitude. When you fukk up, you may or may not get fired. But when your fukkups cost the company money expect to be fired.
