    I deal with adults like this every day at my workplace. Can’t think, can’t reason, can’t troubleshoot, can’t read documentation, can’t even frame their problem correctly- let alone come up with a solution. Its insanity.

      Gods, I feel this so hard. I rose to a management position in a pretty short time for doing, like, what I consider to be the absolute bare minimum of learning how to do the job and solving problems on my own.

      I have a worker under me now who has been doing that position for longer than I did at this point and still comes to ask me questions that are basic fundamentals of the job.

      This makes me really appreciate my current employer, which actually vets people pretty stringently. It’s not 100% effective - nothing is - but by and large, I’m working with a lot of creative critical thinkers every day, many making me feel like a buffoon.
