A lot of American, and everywhere else, accents and vernacular are effectively put on and are hard to understand so yeah don't care if Duane from Bumfuck feigns the inability to understand basic English.

OTOH I had an Indian working for me who communicated to Indian suppliers in English and I had no idea what either of them were writing or saying.

Thats pretty miserable Ken, 'terminating' people because they had the misfortune of poor mentoring and slack accountability.

Thats on the company, not them.

I've been in a few companies with shitty management which blame employees for their shitty management.
I just fired someone that has been at my company for 33 years. Addition by subtraction. Is 33 years enough time to understand it's not misfortune, but a terrible attitude and work ethic?

Were they in the same role for 33 years? Maybe work isn't their priority.

I'm glad that Jack Welsh's entire 40 year career is now discredited. Is 40 years long enough to fail?

Really loving the new expense process.

A new training portal is being built on the intranet, there are some new videos and documents to help you with your submission. This is a changing space with the vision to be a one stop shop for all questions Concur, please check it out if you have any questions and as always finance is available to answer questions and to help guide you in your submission.
Intranet Home Page > Finance Portal > Concur 
Please remember when submitting your claim to:
•    Populate all credit card expenses into one report. Please do not split into trips or submit one report per expense.
•    Please follow the standard format of naming your claims as Name-Month-Year (for example, John Smith – January 2026).
•    Check attendees are categorised correctly e.g. Employee/ business guest and travelling/ not travelling
•    Check the Tax value listed on expense line matches receipt
•    Ensure any missing receipts have a “missing receipt declaration” and Tax removed
•    Purchases that have an approved PO, select expense type “PO Clearing” and enter PO number into “Purchase Order No” field. If your PO is for a CAPEX or WBS, please only complete to PO number field.
•    There should be no “Company paid” or “Pending card transaction” Payment Types in your submission. Please check this before submitting, if these are submitted in error we need to return the report and the approval process starts again. (those who do not have a bank transaction feed into their Concur account, please disregard e.g. Some Euro employees).
•    All transactions should have a supporting invoice. If Concur’s invoice scan cannot match to your transaction, your receipt will be in a pending card transaction line. Please move this receipt to the card transaction before submitting.

i'd pinch the bridge of my nose at the first bullet point. just make the system accept submissions as they come. this isn't helpful. this is just more workform busywork. additionally, stuff like this always presents a headache to the people put in charge of it. if general instructions cannot be fully processed in between sips of coffee, people aren't going to follow it correctly.
