Some people are shockingly stupid, even though I've spent my entire life finding out how stupid people can be.
I worked in retail for a decade, and have been in IT for past 12 years. Mostly help desk. Mostly medical.
The advanced degrees these people have is astounding, but the lack of common sense is terrifying.
Like, these people are cutting into other people to fix shit? They can't tie their own shoes, and the concept of a power button on a computer is too much.
This is the same person. Hopefully he has retired or died by now, cause those were his only real choices at that age.
Seriously, his assistant tied his shoes for him. She probably had advanced degrees of her own. And she had to tie an old man's shoes on the daily.
Maybe there something to have such a laser focus like medicine specialties really does rob people of their common sense.
Tie? Shoe? No, but that artery is about to retract or some shit.
I have the exact same experience. I explain health benefits to people for multiple different companies across the US. The number of airline pilots who see a 'forgot username or password?' button and just don't know what that means, or type their username in the password field and vice versa, even though they're clearly labeled, is insane.
