when coworkers aren't proficient in basic computer skills

[Anonymous]

I've commented in other threads about the lack of basic computer skills in younger than Gen X people. This is the group that is supposedly the most computer literate yet they don't know how to use Excel or open Outlook.

They use Google Sheets and Gmail?

Also, I would stop doing your coworker's work and stop showing them how to do things. I have a 70+ year old coworker whose timecards I did weekly. I thought I was being nice and helpful, but I heard him bragging about how he gets millenials to do all his work. Nope. I'm not a doormat.

Of course it’s a fed. They left out the part about how these coworkers scoot over to the corner of the desk and snore loudly for a few hours. Usually they do it while “working from home” with a blankie, teddy, pillows, and a bed.
