Seriously, I'd like only old timers to reply. The older the better. 50+ is good. 60+ is better.
Were people always this stupid?
People say that contemporary Western society doesn't reward intellectual intelligence anymore. This presupposes the assumption that intelligence was prised at one time. I’m wondering if this is propaganda or if it really was this way.
I'm just so sick of banging my head against what feels like a brick wall every time I have to deal with some stupid customer rep.
They don't even know their own jobs and somehow I'm supposed to "automate" their lives.
It's like people can't THINK anymore. They have to learn everything by making the mistake for themselves and then decide how to solve their problems. They can't anticipate because they can't visualise.
I know I'm ranting but I'm just wondering if this is a new trend or if it was always like this. No one seems to take pride in their own competence. Somehow, personal development is now about yoga and tantric breathing and not about actual skills.
I hate that I have to comport myself in a PC manner; that I can't just say to someone "you're stupid!"
