Everyone here is bashing in op, but when you have to help the 50eth person who clearly doesn't even understand the fundamentals of their job, with editing a word file even tho you already sent them the tutorial, it just gets to you. But I guess I did sign up for first level support.
Look, careers aren't about doing your job well, they're about being likeable whether or not you're competent. If people like you you'll get paid more even if you can't figure out how to export a word document.
I agree wholeheartedly, OP doesn't deserve the bashing, meme is dead on. My daily experience.
I hate techs that think like this. Shit i can't do a doctor's job, I can't do an architects job. I don't expect them to do mine. In fact I want then to pay me all to do my job because they can't do it.Â
Fuck you. Do you job better then them and be worthy of your moneyÂ
Uh... the whole point of the meme is that you are being paid less than someone who knows less and does less than you.
Exactly!
my dude, try having to do a job for someone who makes more that year than you will your entire life, and see them struggle with any simple task.
it doesn't matter the task. you will shit your gasket at the fact they will make more that year than you will your entire life, and you will not get a tip regardless. it will piss your nugget twice the flip fuck off.
No… I’d rather go chill at the ymca
They don't make that kind of money by being smart. They make it by screwing over everyone else for profit.
Stupid brain surgeons, don't know how to save to pdf, I should make more money than them!
If you are a surgeon but, in the year 2026, haven't learned 'File>Save As...' or 'click the little disk icon' I doubt your competence to have learned anything else. Saving a file requires far less education and adaptability. I mean, it's not exactly brain surgery.
"What's a disk?" -- Recently graduated surgeon
"The save icon. The same icon that's used in every damned piece of software you used in the hopefully better part of two decades of education you got before they slapped a scalpel in your hand. If you can't recognise it, you probably used chatGPT to fake your way through school and shouldn't be a surgeon." - patients of the world
Exhibit A
I don't think I could trust a brain surgeon who can't save to pdf in this day and age.
Ben Carson comes to mind. Right wing freak who was formerly the director of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins.
Dean at my college makes 4x my salary, he thinks I personally invented "VPN" to confuse him and make his life difficult
It must be frustrating to think of oneself as king of the knowledge hill, only to be reminded by life all the time that, well, no. Of course they lash out. Can't be them that is the problem.
Well, running with the analogy of a knowledge hill...not everyone can be at the top of the hill, and nobody can remain at the top of the hill indefinitely, and there is likely another hill that is higher.
Try to find enjoyment at the top of your current hill, help others up, and look to the horizon for your next summit. Being angry about a job you chose, or performing it poorly, seems like you are only injuring yourself.
I recently had a hard time explaining to a coworker that the "Increase number of decimals" button in Excel doesn't work if you already exported to a CSV with only a decimal of precision. It worked on their end because they had the excel file, but I had the CSV. I managed to come up with a clever and innovative solution to the problem though; I gave up and worked on something else.

There ya go.
Followed by listening to them complain about how they are struggling with money because of how much their cars are costing them. Meanwhile I can't even afford to learn to drive and had to walk or cycle to work in the pissing rain again.
Listening to the personal financial issues of people much wealthier than you is just the worst. I hate how this can distance me from some of my friends even.
We just got a new employee at work. She is in her 60s and 100% computer illiterate. I had to give her training on how to use a mouse and how to click on bookmarks to open our shared sheets. She somehow deleted everything on one sheet the first day, but shes getting better. She doesn't own any computers and her phone is some no name model from 12 years ago. Im kinda impressed shes made it this far.
She actually sounds like a treasure. Guide her well, and learn from her what you can.
Just going for it and fucking up over and over really is the best way to learn how to use computers... I was lucky enough to go through that as a kid/teen so the consequences were pretty meaningless.
I had such a double take reading your username
I assume 1984 reference or is this a word used elsewhere I happened to learn from the book?
I have a colleague making close to twice my salary struggling with IT...but he's extremely skilled at his actual job.
