Today, I had to explain to a coworker that "the little red X" next to the email title she's been pushing out of curiosity is actually the delete button. Then, I had to restore the dozen emails she'd deleted even after I told her to stop. She's a manager. I stock shelves for a living. FML

Just had an image of a cybermen manager saying "You are incompatible. You will be deleted."

She might be useless on computers but a good manager.

how does having a sense of curiosity make her a bad manager. we have a manager at my work who cannot use a computer but she is a great manager as her job is more hands on. anything she needs donr on the computer i do for her.

People who do things with no regard to consequences are likely to possess poor leadership skills. A rational person would ask what the red X does before pressing it. Hell, a rational person might just infer that the button does something that warrants caution, because it is a red X.

#46 and #40 Not that I do not agree, but I worked under a man who could barely write an email, he was in his late 50s, but we had the best stock and inventory crew in our tri-sector. Computing skills are important but she could be an older woman, she can be a leader and make flaws.

I'm not talking (typing) about a lack of computer skills. I'm talking about a personality trait.

#53 He couldn't open his email correctly without me there. I wasn't referring to typing but I see your point.

Don't show her where her email's trash is; she may delete them from there too. (Then how would you restore them?) :)

Does she even know how to close pages on the internet?

What does that have to do with anything? You could ask endless questions. Does she know how to change a password, print in landscape, tie her shoe?

...Or it could be related to the fact that what deletes a page on the Internet is also a little red X.

That depends on your browser among other things. I don't have red Xs.

Those things will become yours now that you've shown you can do it with no extra compensation.

Hmm isn't it important for a manager to be able to use emails properly? Or is that just me?

So, we born after 1980 came with technology knowledge chips built in by default?

Well, it's not just a 'broad generalization' if it's true!

(whoops, hit send a bit early! Chalk it up to my 'old age', I was born in '79)
But older generations only learned how to use computers in adulthood... Surely the kid who's been using an ipad since he was 3 will have a better grasp of technology.

Seedless, I did not even see a computer till I was 15. Guess what I do for a living? Program computers. It's not age, it's laziness.

52 needs to be thumbed way up, since anyone with a brain and a bit of spare time can learn the basics of computer function. The lack of both motivation and understanding both usually stem from a psuedo laziness that comes with the presumption that something is to difficult to understand, or will take too long to learn.
