>My last job I could take the most incompetent beginner and make them productive. In my current one, I really can only train that social skill side.

The problem is not the incompetent beginner. The incompetent beginner has potential for future competence.

Incompetent seniors are a bigger issue, since their future potential is usually limited, and they might still have sway due to their seniority. This is especially bad in big bureaucratic companies.
