    I have a colleague making close to twice my salary struggling with IT…but he’s extremely skilled at his actual job.

      I overheard someone considerably high up in my organization struggling to understand the concept of an email BCC (Blind Carbon Copy).

      He was trying to figure out how to notify a large number of people via email without letting them know who else was receiving the email.

      Some things may fall under IT but they should really fall under the category of things every professional should understand.

      Yup. The key is are they paid to save pdfs? Or are they paid to do other things?

      I can save the shit out of some PDFs, but I’ve only ever made one sale in my entire life.
