i just had to train two colleagues how to do my job

Smee [Edit] [Delete] 12:14, 4 February '09

cos Im leaving, and they'll be sharing my responsibilities. Its a basic data entry job pretty much, involving excel and outlook. They are both women in their 40s, with a wealth of office experience behind them.
The level to which they lacked a basic understanding of how simple computer operations work was SHOCKING. I mean, I'm not talking anything that you're average 5 year old couldnt do in their sleep. Copy and paste for example. When I adjusted the size of my Excel window so that I could see Outlook at the same time one of them nearly fainted. "Well im not technically minded". You've barely got a mind love.
No obviously its a generational thing but jeez.
