Worked security at a factory that made kitchen appliances. It wasn’t his first day, but it was his first shift by himself.
There’s a gate at the front that you lock when you go on rounds.
Dude chooses to go on a round 5 minutes before shift change for the factory workers. He gets a call on company cell that folks are at the gate. Instead of coming back, he tells them to wait 20 minutes so he can finish his round.
20 minutes where they won’t be getting paid.
Second in command big boss of the factory is out there checking IDs and directing traffic when dude gets back from his round. Now this dude is nice. Genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Old union rep, shirt off his back type. Tells guard not to worry about it, all’s good. Just time his rounds better next time.
Guard starts screaming at him about how he had no right to undo the lock, to get out of here, he’ll handle them, and if he wants to make them wait that’s his right. Boss man tells him to chill out, he won’t get in trouble, just go do his log and then he can take over checking IDs.
Guard pulls out, in one hand, a mag light flashlight he was told not to have, and in the other chemical spray that’s illegal for a guard to carry without certs (which he didn’t have), and this is an unarmed site. Threatens to ““arrest”” him. When boss pulls out his cell to call the guard company, the guard sprayed him and knocked his cell onto the ground, and kicked it across the parking lot, breaking it.
Needless to say, he was fired. Boss didn’t press assault charges, but we nearly lost the contract.
That’s clearly a guy who didn’t make it as a police officer
I can’t imagine why, he sounds like exactly the type of person police departments go for.
Nah, the police understand who is and isn’t a target. That guy didn’t have that.
OP didn’t specify how white the bossman was or wasn’t. He could have been a target.
Can you imagine if you gave this guy a gun and immunity…
We don’t have to imagine. We see it all the time.
Shame there were no charges filed. This dude should’ve gone to jail.
Should definitely have filed charges. I would be shocked if that was the first or last time this dude assaulted someone.
Should’ve filed charges. Why do “mall cops” always act like they have any real power?
Not just mall cops, it’s just people in general in any position of power. When I was young I used to host game servers for a community I created and liked to have a decent amount of people to administrate them and keep the games fun for everyone. There were people playing for months and always seemed reasonable and level headed and I’d see if they would be interested and most jumped at the chance to be more involved in the community. Every once in awhile though those reasonable and level headed individuals once they got some measure of authority went absolutely crazy and there’s no indication of who it would be. People can be the exact opposite too, they clown around taking nothing seriously always trying to push boundaries, but then you give them some responsibility and suddenly they are the most responsible person you’ve ever met, they just needed a chance to show it.
Depending on the state, security guards do have some power. In Tennessee, guards can be bonded, which effectively makes them cops.
In Virginia, security guards have powers of arrest, so they’re not cops, but can legally arrest and detail you, to include handcuffing and up to lethal force in certain situations.
But to your larger point, it’s a power trip. I worked security for 10 years. Most guards do not give a fuck, they don’t want to do anything more than the bare minimum, and will passively just sit there while people steal and shit.
But occasionally you get a power tripper. Someone who went into security because they couldn’t hack being a real cop, so they decided to become a rent-a-pig. This is usually seen in people 60+ or under 25.
Was hired at a company as a designer. Went to the production meeting and sat down beside another designer (introduced myself and we started chatting). In comes everyone else and sits down. We all start chatting and do introductions.
Five minutes into the meeting the company owner comes in, chatting with a salesman. He glances around the room, then his face freezes on me - he then looks at the guy beside me and keeps looking back and forth. He finally motions for me to come outside the conference room. I walk out and he asks me what I was doing there. I tell him ‘remember, you hired me and my start day was today??’
He turned pale and just said ‘oh yeah I forgot’. He let me go back in the room but then I heard him call the guy beside me out.
The guy never came back. Apparently he had intended on firing him and forgot.
Needless to say I didn’t stay long before I found another job. The place was complete chaos.
Omg he had hired the replacement already and forgot to fire the guy… what a mess, and what an idiot
Yeah, I was young and it was my first job out of college (technically I worked thru college but this was my first after graduation) so I was very inexperienced still and also didn’t know what to look for when it came to red flags.
The owner’s wife worked there in a ‘higher up’ position and was the major cause of a lot of conflict at the company. Basically he would give people orders then she would come along and contradict them.
If anyone disagreed with her then she would go to hubby and complain about said person(s) making it impossible to please either because you couldn’t prove her wrong. That designer in particular was just the latest of ‘trophy wife’s wrath’. The place had an insane turnover rate I quickly found out.
At least it was a good learning experience and taught me to ask questions and meet people during the interview process.
I hired a woman once to work in the retail store I was managing at the time. After lunch, I noticed one of my long time employees crying in the break room. She had lost her wallet and whoever took it had wiped out her bank account at the Walmart next door. I called the manager over there and he pulled up the video and low and behold it was the new lady over there buying up gift cards. We called the police and after verifying what happened, they asked me if I wanted them to handle it quietly or to make a scene. I chose make a scene and they went into the backroom handcuffed her, told her why she was being arrested in front of everyone and marched her out. Needless to say HR agreed it should be an immediate termination.
Why were you fired?
- I stole a coworker’s wallet
- I defrauded Walmart buying gift cards
- I am very stupid
That’s an impressive trifecta.
The worst part to me was that before the girl whose wallet it was checked her bank account and saw all the charges, this lady was “helping” her look for it in the store.
What a cunt.
Wait you can choose whether you want to make a scene? That’s awesome!
The Theater Kid that became a cop is so happy too!
Enter COP, left.
Exit COP and SUSPECT, right.
Lo* and behold.

I got your back. 👍 Please take the emoji as a sign of this not being condescending.
👌
I love that they asked you if you wanted a scene. I would have chose it too!
If the “handle quietly” option was chosen in a movie, they would have taken the thief out the back, laid down some bubble wrap, put the silencers on their glock service pistols…
I actually think that’s a little disgusting. The police are choosing Corporate Interests over simply following the evidence and upholding the Law, no matter who broke it, or where they were employed…
What??? The police were going to arrest this person regardless. They just asked if OP wanted attention drawn to them or not.
One time someone showed up to work that was clearly different than the person from the interview. They never even got their badge.
So they hired a professional interviewee to be interviewed for them? Amazing. I wonder how you’d get that job, and what the recruitment process would be like?
This is not uncommon in IT type jobs with individuals from a certain country. I was at lunch with a coworker when he was approached to do an interview for a cousin of one of his friends. I must have looked puzzled because he explained it to me and I was flabbergasted. He said that it was more common during phone interviews, but since “they all look the same” to white hiring managers, it still happens over video interviews.
Hate it when I do an interview with Don Cheadle and Terrence Howard shows up
It’s more they have a friend that speaks better English do the interview and hope that big companies don’t notice a difference when they start the job.
Had that happen to me once. Guy we phone screened did not match the guy on the video interview. Immediately bounced, you could tell their accent and talking style was different.
My wife had a guy start at her company the same day she did, but he got fired that same day because for reasons no one understands he decided it would be wise to make his Teams (or whatever they used. Slack? I can’t remember) profile picture a meme that said “Epstein didn’t kill himself” or something to that effect.
It was a six figure software engineering job, too. I cannot imagine losing a job like that for such a silly, self-inflicted reason.
At my last job some intern burst into Slack calling everyone “mald” for disagreeing with his sexist memes. That whole event was just a couple of hours.
Tf is mald?
I believe it’s supposed to be a portmanteau of “mad” and “bald,” possibly implying that we were discontent merely because of age.
The portmanteau is correct, but “malding” means that the person is balding from sheer anger.
I assume the intern meant malding? As in, he’s saying everyone was upset.
TF is “malding?”
Apparently it’s some kind of Twitch meme.
Damn I’m old
Similar to “coping” and “seething”
I’m curious about the etymology. It’s not in any classic lexicon.
Mad & balding is what I understand it to be.
You’re curious about the etymology of an urban Dictionary word?
It’s a slang term used as a verb usually. To mald is to be mad. He was calling them mad.
When you are so mad you bald
Mad while balding.
Maybe maid? But i am not the original commentor
Mad while balding.
But did he kill himself?
I know you’re joking, but the department of justice finished their investigation and found a whole lot of ineptitude and negligence, but no conspiracy
I was a contacted technician at a retail store. They hired a new salesperson, immediately gave me weird vibes. On his lunch break, he came over to show me what I thought was going to be a meme on his phone - it was porn.
He was asked not to return for a second shift.
Lmao. This dude is sharing porn on this first day of work, like that is a totally acceptable thing to do.
Well… I’ve run into people here on Lemmy that legit believe that it’s okay to take your workers out to a drag show as a corporate event.
So I’m sure that there’s plenty of people that believe that softcore porn is on the table during work hours.
Drag shows are not necessarily pornographic, they’re often just theatre and comedy, and I’m confused how you got this impression that they are pornographic.
The most well known drag queen in Australia for decades was Dame Edna (now deceased) and no one would have batted an eye at going to watch her perform with work colleagues.
Drag shows are not necessarily pornographic,
Sure… But you’re using a bad example. And I think that’s part of the point… lots of people are lumping things in that just isn’t a “drag show” into it to make it out that people like me are anti-whatever.
If we use your example… It’s not a drag show… it’s a character. One that was put on specifically for comedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Edna_Everage “Drag” isn’t even mentioned on the page. Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”. Eg. RuPaul’s proclivity to pole dance and emulate sexual acts on that particular televised series.
If you think Dame Edna wasn’t a drag performance you’ve lost the plot.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show
The way you’re equating all drag performance with pornography or “lewd acts” is equally ridiculous. Not all drag shows are dancing.
You must think that all women on streaming sites are cam girls by that logic.
You are very clearly anti-something, by the looks of it anti-intellectual might be a start.
The way you’re equating all drag performance with pornography or “lewd acts” is equally ridiculous.
I specifically AGREED with you that you were right that all shows are not necessarily pornographic… The fuck dude? Are you dumb?
Oh so my example of a man, dressing as a woman, and doing a performance is a bad example because it doesn’t fit your clearly borderline pornographic concept of drag shows but I’m missing the point?
Please elaborate.
Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”.
yes it is?
you’re thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.
From the link @cypher linked at this post https://lemmy.world/comment/2475000.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show
A drag show is a form of entertainment performed by drag artists impersonating men or women, typically in a bar or nightclub. Shows can range from burlesque-style, adult themed nightclub acts to all-ages events with sing-alongs and story times.
Using sources that people have linked AGAINST me… It shows the same thing I’ve been talking about. Just because all of them aren’t this way doesn’t mean that it’s magically okay to do as a mandated corporate event.
Just because you don’t highlight ‘all ages events’ doesn’t mean it’s not part of the quote
Yeh there is a huge double standard on this site.
On the technicians line of an electronics manufacturing facility, had a new hire come in on his first day. He was friendly. So much so that he wanted to use my workstation to log into his Yahoo mail and show me some pictures some female sent him. He calls up the photos and it’s full nudity real big on my computer monitor. I tell him “dude, we can’t have porn at work, close that out.” He panics and turns off the monitor. At some point I have to turn the monitor and close out of the browser, when no one is looking.
He was showing a pretty inattentiveness to his first day on the job training just not seeming to want to have anything to do that’s any kind of actual work.
Before the lunch break, he announced that he’s going to the restroom, then is never seen again. All I could tell the supervisor was that he said he was going to the restroom hours ago then haven’t seen him since.
Ctrl+W closes the current tab in most modern browsers. For the future.
There’s so many lazy as fuck people like that. It’s incredible. I wonder how they survive?
Over the years I’ve seen about a dozen people who just walk out while claiming they’re going to the bathroom.
Sometimes I wonder how some people get hired.
Our hiring coordinator hires any idiot that applies. We ask her not to. She continues to do it.
Her time will come
Not so good at hiring. Is she really excellent at coordinating?
Starting this off myself, there was one fella at my current job who bought vodka at a liquor store during his lunch break, poured heaps of it into his soda from a fast food joint, and wound up getting fired when they noticed him getting drunk as hell.
That was before I started working here, but coincidentally I met him at my other job!
Mine is similar. Arrived, day one in a new team; this one was more high-intensity than the usual - a fast-paced and very hands-on work environment. Noticed the team leader was working in a dysfunctional and unsafe manner; seemed unsteady. As the most junior member and a newbie at that I hesitated to confront directly; thankfully I managed to find a more experienced colleague. Scene was made safe; turned out the guy was drunk as a skunk. Canned within the hour.
I’ve since learned to be stronger and more willing to confront suboptimal or dangerous performance in team members, regardless of their seniority.
That was pretty scary.
I knew a guy who would get absolutely wrecked on his lunch break in his car, and show up early thinking he was late because he was high as a kite on hard drugs.
You couldn’t tell unless he told you. He was a top performer. Probably the only person I’ve ever met that was a well functioning drug abuser, and that’s an understatement, the guy was fucked out of his mind all the time and to everyone around him he was perfectly coherent and capable.
What kind of work did he do??
Laptop repair in one of those third party warranty shops where the manufacturer ships them to get them fixed under warranty. Fucker had the best quality control numbers in the shop.
That is kinda cool but sad also. I knew someone like that as well. Worked for a company were the best quality control person for boards was a functioning alcoholic. And I mean like her hands started shaking around 9 o’clock. She would drink all day long from tiny schnaps bottles hiding in her office or from her flask.
These boards were mostly for prototypes or small series, so always something new to look out for. Tiny parts mounted by hand. She would catch any error or faulty joint. But couldn’t talk straight. I never understood how that’s possible. I guess these people are better focused when drunk/high. Or just ultra pros at their jobs…
I know someone like that. He’s always drinking. And always drunk. He says he’d rather kill himself than drink less. Has a fancy government that drug tests him every 5 minutes just about. He makes a lot of money though. No idea how this is even sustainable. Guess they don’t give a shit as long as you don’t smoke weed.
Guess they don’t give a shit as long as you don’t smoke weed.
Sad reality :(
Got drunk for the first time a week ago, I struggled to speak but I definitely felt hyper focused on what I was doing. In contrast I’m usually focused on what’s going on around me and have good spacial awareness. I can totally see myself doing quality control and not missing a beat.
Bro. I worked for a call centre way back and in training some dude did the same thing sans the soda.
Just downed a 1/2 bottle and went back to training. Suffice to say he was pretty drunk (admittedly an alcoholic, and I sympathise) and started being a bit louder. He was promptly fired.

When I worked at a movie theater, I was showing a new hire how to prepare pretzels. After I sprayed a little mist on them and was dribbling some salt over them, he said something along the lines of, “Man this is too much,” took his vest off, and went to find a manager to hand it to.
Jeez I want to go to your movie theatre that seems to have fresh pretzels
Well this was like, 1997 so…

Tbf when I worked at BK they told me everything I would be doing as a line cook. When I started my shift the first thing the supervisor told me to do was clean the washrooms. I told them no, I was hired as a line cook and no one told me about washrooms. So the supe says I can clean them or he’ll get the manager involved and I’ll probably be fired. I said sure call him. Supe comes back and tells me to start in the kitchen. Turned out line cooks were not supposed to be cleaning washrooms and the manager came in the next day to explain everyone’s duties.
But later turned out that supe was going out with one of the cashiers.

One guy during the probation period called IT saying his laptop was broke, they told him to bring it into the office. It turned out he was on another continent and didn’t bother to tell anyone. As expected he lost his job.
We had this once with a guy working remotely who decided to move to Poland without telling anyone, which was not allowed in the terms of his contract nor did he have a visa to live in Poland. Only person I’ve ever heard of getting deported from Poland to the UK
Did you ever find out why he suddenly moved to Poland? Was it cheaper?
Definitely cheaper, I don’t know if that was the reason though, he was a weird dude
I have a friend who was deported from India back to the US.
And I almost got deported from Canada and China back to the US.
This is becoming quite a thing here in Vietnam. We are starting to get quite a few undocumented migrant workers from the USA. It’s slowly becoming problematic. I expect my compliance paperwork to increase in cost and complexity if the trend continues.
Also I see them die on the roads sometimes, maybe one per year. That’s not an outcome I’d wish on them, but it’s not surprising either.
Why are they dying on the roads?
Probably either stray meteorites or cars.
Makes sense. I don’t know why, but I somehow read the original comment to mean that Americans were randomly dead on the side of the road, sans car. Lol
I read this as, “Probably either meteorites or stray cats.”
Seems legit, moving along.
Driving a motorcycle unsafely in mixed traffic without a license, registration, insurance, experience, or the ability to read the road signs. Saw two doing unsafe stuff on my way to work today. Not sure specifically where they are from, I didn’t stop to ask. I can infer non-compliance from the license plate types with decent accuracy though. Generally plates that say NN (foreign resident), NG (foreign organization), or LD (local enterprise) are compliant and others are not. There are a couple of exceptions beyond that, but they are quite rare.
One nearly got hit by a bus as they cut across the road at an intersection. The other was just being pushy but didn’t outright do anything that would get them killed – not really out of the ordinary, just ‘somewhat unsafe’.
Had the same thing happen. They found out he logged into the company VPN from China.

Probably, but that’s not the issue from a corporate perspective. You still transported a company laptop, presumably containing company IP or other confidential information, across an international border. That’s the big sticking point with most corporations due to the rules about search and seizure of said data when crossing borders. Some companies might insist that only prepared clean (essentially empty, not just encrypted) machines can cross borders and you can download the data you need through a VPN once you reach your destination.
Yeah, we have a country list with different security levels. The company issued laptops are only allowed in some countries, for other countries you get a special travel laptop. Not sure if China is not just entirely black-listed. Certainly just working remotely from China is a no-go. Business trips are probably okay under some conditions.
Yeah, even crossing (or just existing within a couple hundred miles of) a US border, even as a US citizen, you give up almost all privacy and rights against search and seizure including personal “papers” stored on any storage device to border patrol and customs agents. It’s crazy the freedoms and protections people have voted away in the name of security theater and convenience.
In addition there can also be serious legal implications for a company if they have workers working in another country. Is the company now subject to the tax laws of that country because the employee visited? How about labour laws? Do their products now need to be translated into another language because the employee worked while in that jurisdiction? Etc.
Exactly, it’s mostly a legal problem. Most often a single day, weekend or even a few weeks however are rarely a problem.

An old restaurant I worked at hired a new chef. He came in, completely rearranged the kitchen, changed the menu top to bottom ON HIS FIRST DAY, and introduced a bunch of complicated specials. Dinner service hits, chaos ensues and dude disappears.
I was on expo watching everything fall apart when one of the line cooks is like, “get chef,I don’t know how to make this special because there’s no recipe or notes”
I go into the walk in and he’s haunched over in there and violently turns, around inhaling, all bug eyed. I told him we needed help. He doesn’t hide his annoyance goes on the line, makes the one dish in question and is like, “see, that wasn’t difficult” and disappeared again.
The line cook asked why I had the look on my face that I did and I said it was because chef was doing rails in the walk in. We both laughed, shook our heads and got through service eventually. Drugs are pretty common in the service industry but even that seemed extreme.
Anyhow we didn’t see him for the rest of the night. Next day, I get to work and the owner is there and he pulls me aside and told me what happened after. Owner didn’t even know he’d been snorting shit during the dinner rush
Chef continued his one man party and went into the booze closet and proceeded to help himself. When the prep cook showed up the next morning the kitchen door was wide open so she called the police thinking the place had been robbed. The police went in and found Chef semi conscious and incoherent, giggling in the office. He was fired and since he was a keyholder all the locks and alarm codes had to be changed
I’ve never seen someone self destruct that spectacularly.
To have been a fly on the wall when they called the other guy chef beat out for the gig and told him he could start immediately…
That’s amazing. How did he even get hired? You’d think there would at least have been one red flag.
I think the dude could actually cook. He’d been a chef at a resort in the Caribbean previous to that… makes sense: he cooked somewhere out of the country and I’m not sure if the owners reached out to that place.
He was a pushy prima Donna chef with ego and swagger. Dude was a skilled bullshitter who talked over people and I immediately didn’t like him but I’m sure he knew how to sell himself when he was interviewed.
The guy who replaced him was also a total dick (what is it with chefs?) But at least he could hold it together. Amusingly you could tell he didn’t want to be there: it was a Mexican place and he put meatloaf and a seared ahi tuna sandwich on the menu. His concession was adding cilantro, chilies or something to them. I left that place a few months later and he didn’t last much longer
It was one of the phlebotomists (person who draws blood) at the hospital I worked at.
It was her first day going off on her own. She accidentally went to the wrong floor/area that morning. She drew many patients’ blood that morning for the morning blood draws. The entire time she was there, she did not double check even a single patient’s name at any point. They were all wrong. All were mislabeled. All patients had to be re-drawn and she was fired for gross negligence.
Things happen and I’ve seen things get mislabeled many tines before. It’s not good obviously. But if you do it once and no one ended up getting hurt, you just get reprimanded and move on. You generally don’t get fired for a one off. But never before or after have I seen that level of mislabeling.
Doesn’t it take months of training (at least!) to become a phlebotomist? How can you screw up that badly on day one?
Draw blood A+
Labelling O-
Like the other user sort of said…I’m sure she drew the blood just fine. It was the caring about patient safety that didn’t happen.
My assumption would be that the training would put a huge weight on precisely that.
I really don’t think they’d spend all that time just learning how to mechanically draw blood and not have entire courses and exams on patient safety, record keeping etc.
Unfortunately you can’t force people to care about things they don’t care about. She obviously didn’t care. Or was maybe on drugs. Or both. Who knows?
A couple times now at my current job they’ve hired someone, only to have them just not show up on their agreed first day with no communication. I’m guessing they just got a different job they like more or something, but still, I’d imagine one usually at least tells people not to expect you, under that circumstance?
Companies can’t be arsed to let you know you didn’t get hired, I can see how someone would just ghost if they got a better job. Not commenting on whether it’s right it wrong, just making an observation.
It’s so weird. I’ve seen a lot of people do that over the years.
One guy even responded to bring called, claiming he had spoken to the another manager about the start day, making it seem like a miscommunication. Next day rolls by and he’s still not showing up. Didn’t bother calling him at that point.
I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao
- Fired from unplugging security cameras to charge his phone
- 30yo man harassing a 17yo girl
- That man’s wife fighting the 17yo girl for “flirting” with her husband even though she wasn’t
- Got on top of some shelves and took a nap. These shelves are really tall and you need a lift to get on top of them
These weren’t on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning
- Racing during lunch in the parking lot
- 10+ person brawl in the parking lot over a guy stealing another guy’s girlfriend
- A guy left his keys in his car so another guy just broke the window. He said he thought it was funny and that he got the bit from a movie, tv, or comedian or something
- A couple people got caught taking lunch on top of the shelves in a corner because the lunchroom was too loud. They also had a bed up there made up bubble wrap and yoga mats
- Going full speed into a door with a forklift while the forks were fully lifted
- Doing BMX tricks off the truck dock. I think people were riding skateboards off it too but I can’t remember 100%
That’s all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol
There was some TV show in the 2000s that was a workplace drama / comedy set in a warehouse (or like a Costco?) and I remember something about two characters making like a hide-out at the top of some shelves. Does anyone remember the name of that show?
I don’t know anything from the early century but there’s Superstore from 2015 which had a lot of stuff on that level.
The movie Employee of the Month had that
My boy Dane Cook
This is a subplot in The Office.
Was a contractor for Walmart.
Got hired on as a lead dev, getting compensated 150k/yr.
2nd day, they told me I needed to switch contracts in order to stay on. New contract paid 50k salary… with lots of required OT.
But, it’s OK they said, you get benefits and PTO.
Fuck that.
What the hell? That should be illegal if it isn’t already.
If an employer or prospective employer rescinds their job offer, or makes significant changes to the employment contract, through no fault of your own then you may have reason to engage an attorney and discuss Promissory Estoppel.
I am not a lawyer but it’s worth knowing the laws :)
On the plus side, I negotiated to work remotely for a few weeks, due to needing to relocate.
So- I was actually able to work both my current job, and the “new” job without losing time for either job.
So, on the plus side, I didn’t lose anything, and got an extra paycheck for a few days. But, man, that would have been really shitty if I had relocated, and THEN got that notification.
As another interesting note, I discovered the other head-dev was only getting compensated 30-40k a year… for literally managing a world-wide system. He doesn’t work there either now.
Did your original contact allow for them to just terminate like that? No minimum?
You know, that got me curious… I went back and found the contract.
#1- There is this questionablly illegal clause in it.
But, yea, absolutely nothing in the contract about this swap-a-roo.
Back in 2007 I worked in an office that required basic MS Excel / Word competency. The office manager led her to her desk and instructed her to turn on her computer (nothing fancy, a basic workstation with a large round button).
She couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. The office manager sent her home and she never came back.
But she said she was amazing at KOMputers … clicking … double clicking.
Opening emails, sending emails…
Maybe she could be relationship manager.
Just remember, don’t search for Google on Google. I have it on good authority that this will break the internet.
Maybe even triple clicking
there was a joung guy like 4 years ago in the job orientation (it area)
he could not turn it on either
He called the pointy finger of the teacher “magic finger”
he never got into the it apprenticeships but likely he got into another job orientation
