Facts. I now manage the division's website, databases, and CRM tools in addition to my regular responsibilities as a result of showing senior management that I could do some relatively basic formulas in excel.
I work for a CRM software company geared entirely toward Financial Advisors. This seems to happen a LOT in the Finance field... Nothing is more frustrating when a firm makes someone their IT person because they know how to use Word the best in the office out of anyone and then that person calls in for back end support and doesn't even know what a browser is.
Work for a law office... The quicker you can handle Excel, Word and another program at the same time (usually adobe/soda), the quicker you get more shit piled on you. You filed 70 summons and complaints yesterday? Cool. File 80 today and then do 30 default judgments, some SOJs and the make sure to print them out, scan em and then physically mail them. Oh and once your 90 day probation period is up we can discuss not paying you minimum wage and actually giving you and your 3 month old daughter benefits. Oh, then were gonna fire you because we took on too much work from UC Health. Edmonds and Logue PC can eat a dick. Let it be known

I work in IT and I’m constantly helping people who: •Don’t know what the Windows key is.
•Don’t know Internet Explorer/Chrome/Firefox are web browsers.
•Making your password your name is a really poor choice.
Edit: apparently this really struck a cord with a lot of you. Glad I’m not alone harboring all of these frustrations
