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

          Lol, it’s just computer literacy. Most jobs require using the computer, saving a file required for the job is part of that job.

            Computer literacy is exactly what is taught in IT lessons, just like regular literacy is taught in school as well.

      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.

      • Are they paid to use the toilet to go to the bathroom or are they paid for other things? If they’re paid for other things, they should shit on the floor wherever they happen to be and let the janitors handle that since they’re the ones paid to clean things up.

      I liken it to a professional basketball player with a low free throw percentage. If they’re still on the team and in the league despite missing 3 free throws a game, they must be really good at the other stuff.
