HELP: My colleague is a complete retard
Last April, a student from a non-target in London and I -English target- got accepted for an internship in a private debt shop. Recent fund and not much in AUM, but very talented team coming fromERinBBsandEBs, great potential. The shop has offered us a 2 months position outside of Europe, and we are to share a flat with one another, for some administrativeBS. Anyway I get in contact with the other intern, whom we shall call Lana, to get a drink in London and meet each other. She's fun, tall, ambitious and we have a good time. After that we don't see each other before leaving for the internship.
One day i receive a message from her asking if we can travel together because she's too scared and has never been on such a long journey or someBSlike that -she is 2yrs older than me. So we do the X hrs flight together and Lana complains ALL the time; "it's too hot in the airport, too cold in the plane, seats too uncomfortable,visa queues toolong...". When we arrive at the flat, she puts on this surrogate princess style and complains how it's not luxurious enough and that the company should have given us a better place (the flat is in a private area, floor 33, beautiful view, pool, gym... so more more than acceptable). Three days later, we start our first day at work and Lana's like totally lost. It's actually another level; she just doesn't understand anything. And still to this date -a bit more than a month since we started, the situation hasn't changed. For example, after being asked by a junior PM to look up some of our competitor's NAVs and prices, she goes 1h later to高级点to ask him how to search smth on the bloomberg terminal. More than once, she took a junior PM's entire morning or afternoon to have her explained (and eventually did) the research she had been assigned with. When she asks a question, the interlocutorALWAYS邀请她重复,因为它没有做任何sense. She took more than two working days to come up with a list of 3 FX rates' daily values in the past two years (values that can simply be2ManBetX登陆 , I imagine she copy pasted the values one by one LOL). In a fucking meeting she askedONE OF THE FUCKING FOUNDING PARTNER IN FRONT OF A FUCKING CLIENTwhy our firm didn't accept LTV ratios of over 90% (we actually stop at 70%). The list is virtually endless and I've stopped to try and remember new events as it's getting more depressing than funny.
我得到的印象,她的思维过程是completely dispersed, and that she's not capable of following a logical chain of reasoning. And guys keep in mind that I share a flat with her, so this nonsensical nightmare doesn't stop at work -she lost my office AND flat keys, eats like a pig... Also when Lana's busy wasting time from our M+1, I obv can't go to him for any queries or debrief.
idk what I should do to solve this situation (if even possible!)
However the positive aspect about it is that I get to look very good in comparison, I'm well integrated into the team and they're really happy about my work lol

Yh but they own transportation infrastructure in Eastern Europe (trying not to be too specific)... so again, I'll pass

You're also a cuck for not making a move, if she's not pretty she must be easy to bag

You agreed to share a flat with a female coworker? That was your first mistake.

Bingo
Tf does her being a woman have to do with anything?
Because guys and girls hookup??? And you shouldn't fish off the company dock

Generally a bad idea to live with a woman that you aren't romantically involved with and vice versa for women to live with men they aren't romantically involved with. Men and women just can't be friends.
rationality is gendered
Makes you look much better by comparison.
Think about it for a second. She can't complete basic tasks yet she's in client meetings with a founding partner, junior PMs take on her research work.
I hate to say it bud, but if there is only oneFToffer, she's getting it.
I mean its very possible OP is also in those meetings..
Yeah they basically take us everywhere, they're really trying to show is the ropes -to both of us. No looking for aFToffer, I'm a second year
Either way she's not getting it tho
Good for you man, take the experience and upgrade. If she's getting special treatment with that kind of performance, doesn't sound like the kind of place you want to end up. All the best.
Just do your work and do it well. There is someone like that every firm.
你听起来像一个绝对的混球。你真正y have nothing better to do other than whining on anonymous forums behind the back of a girl. Other than the fact that no one here cares about your story, this displays a lack of character beyond belief.
I don't think he cares that she's a girl. He's pissed because she's (apparently) stupid
SIMP DETECTED
You're a fucking doofus. It's depressing that people like that simps like this are becoming more common in the industry.
Whip her into shape then (no pun intended)
Giveth the dick?
I mean sex burns energy and since OP calls her a pig literally. So whip her into shape and her life in shape too? XD
