This. Big issue here is language and communication skills, plenty of bright people but a good portion just got off the boat and their job skills may be strong but communication is absolutely atrocious. They want raises and i'm like, well, i can't put you on difficult jobs because you can't communicate at the level I need. So i just let them walk.
