I'm cringing

Like, I know there's people that are simply not good with computers and don't know how to deduce what could be wrong.

But my lord..

I feel like if anyone lands an office job (eeeh... I'll count my job as that I suppose, lol, library), then they should know at least the basics of whatever windows their office is using.

...

A few of my co-workers are like this actually, and I just giggle.

Experience, smearience, bah humbug, I got a piece of paper showing I spent this much money to do something as simple as sit on my ass and write documents and make phonecalls all day.

Bah bah bah

EDIT: Not to mock anyone in this position or anything!!!

there's actually an industry certification that you can get that shows employers you know the basics of working on a computer. this certification is literally lower than a CompTIA certification in terms of knowledge required.

questions on the exam include things such as "what does GB stand for?" and "what program do you use to create spreadsheets?"

Honestly why do employers not just send people out the door if they don't have certs like this? Like especially at higher end jobs if somebody isn't willing to pay 50 bucks and do a little studying if they really have to to land a cert they don't deserve the job, pretty simple.

Man what would they do without you

For the same reason that IT departments exist? Because some people that aren't technologically literate have other talents to offer an employer?

That being said, I suspect this will become a nonissue in the not-too-distant future.

Not everyone hired into an IT department is competent either, unfortunately.

So basically a diploma at an ITT Tech Graduation class

I don't see the issue.
