Customers were angry and escalated because of bad delivered job and additionally complained about insulting treatment. We (the team) was obliged to do overtime for correcting the badly done job and for writing reports, statements and apologetic e-mails. After some months these candidates were asked to leave!

Hey Japan1234567, thanks for the reply!
It sounds like there is a person in a leadership role in this company that is making some poor decisions as of late. There is one thing to be motivated and outgoing but quite another to insult people and constantly make negative comments. Character is always shining and it is forged daily. When you see people who make disparaging remarks or insults you can tell they will contribute negatively to the culture.

People skills are very important in this day and age I entirely agree with you. It is not only being less introverted but a better communicator. A lot of people mistake the fact that because they speak the language that they are a "good" communicator. I know people who are less fluent in English, for example, who are better communicators than natives who are quite skilled in the language. Less than 10% of the words you say make up communication.

Entirely agree with you Japan1234567.

In a big campany it's very difficult to have control over every unit. So, unfortunately bad news should first come from disappointed customer. After action will be taken.

You are right about the big company aspect and the many layers these type of companies. I work for a small company and if I need something done I can get it done. It is amazing the amount of layers within the corporations that tie up answers to simple questions.
