Anyway I had to sit with a guy called Scott this morning and show him how to do Emails for Nectar which is the Campaign I am working on at work, he didnt know how copy and paste text from one place to another etc, basic simple IT Tasks that anyone should be able do, he also didnt even know how to navigate the System properly despite having a Weeks Training on how to do so Last Week.
I find this worrying and quite frankly it hacked me off as that then slowed me right down in getting through my work load of emails, to a point where after I came back from lunch I went in another room by myself and cracked with what I needed to get done for the day, leaving him to struggle on his own following a conversation with my floor walker for the day, having done this I plowed through my emails and finished the last one bang on 16:30 which was when my Shift finished, had I not had this distraction to contend with I would of probably gotten through another batch emails as we are expected to do at least 60 to 80 emails a day.
On the brightside I get an extra hour in Bed tomorrow morning as I dont start till 9am, rather 8am which has resulted in being up at 5am twice this week.
That's such basic stuff. My mother in law is in her mid 70s and can do it!
Husband is interviewing people this week. In his case, he needs to make sure people have IT skills way above that level (he's doing the technical interviews for software development roles!)
