[quote=Anonymous]I am sure the new routine is bewildering. I can't imagine the pressure valve that would be released if I were suddenly able to stay home, so the opposite must be a shock to the system.

Observationally, I'm shocked by the lack of resourcefulness in new employees across the board. I will say the one SAHM I worked with who returned to the workforce had very little prior experience and she was super sharp and ready to learn, so most of my anecdata comes from college grads and experienced hires. People come to me with asks on things like how to number ppts, how to resize screen shots, what certain standard govt acronyms represent. With the advent of google and youtube, there is ZERO excuse for asking these types of questions. You can learn everything from administrative office basics to advanced topics from tutorials on youtube. A quick google search will answer 90% of questions. Sure, there are role and task-specific questions I expect to answer but I'm baffled by the garbage adults can't figure out on their own. My 4th grader used a pdf tutorial on google docs to figure out something he was stumped by. I don't think it's a SAHM thing.[/quote]
