[quote=Anonymous]I work in a data intensive office. We're supposed to be able to use a variety of programs for analysis and program to a degree. A lot of this stuff you're just expected to teach yourself. I'm not that smart and I figured it out.

Three people in my office, who I'm supposed to lead, are basically computer illiterate. They can't follow any sort of instruction or figure out anything on their own that's technical in nature. For them to do anything, they need a step by step guide to follow. They don't understand that if it's that clear cut, I can just write a program to do that.

I spent hours providing training but they're not motivated to learn. I've trained other staff and they are highly successful.

Then they will bitch about not receiving "training" (which I think they mean a classroom style type deal) and then once they get the option, complain about having to take it. They insinuate that it's unfair that I am "good" at computers, but I explain to them I just researched and fooled around with stuff until I understood it. That concept is alien to them.

I just automated that part that they'd be assigned to do. My supervisor doesn't care as long as it gets done.

Horrible for morale. But who cares, right? It's government work! Your tax dollars at work. :) [/quote]
