This can come down to the supervisor not asking the right questions, fully vetting the education (E.g. private universities from SW Asia are worse than a public high school in Chicago), or not checking in enough on the employee... idk some people from other countries do not have the American work ethic or desire to do more than the bare min.
I did have that situation. I had few Spanish speaking people work for me. I don't speak any other language so I depended on their English. One fellow always seemed to understand but as it turns out he was using only intuition to do what he thought I wanted done.

He moved to TN.
