associate is an idiot

How do people balance having an associate who is too dense for his own good? I work at a MM firm in the UK, sometimes associates do modelling…blatant errors and we just got yelled at by our seniors. I don’t have the bandwidth to check someone’s work who is senior to me.

he went to an elite school and I didn’t…but I feel orders of magnitude smarter than this lad. Not sure how I can continue to do bitch work for him without losing my bloody mind
