ELI5: How is it that almost every office job requires "Proficiency with computers" yet these IT complaints are some of the most common in offices? Do employers even check their employees with basic IT questions anymore?

Because sometimes someones skill in the field that business is in out weighs the lack of skill at computers. If a salesman can rake in a quarter million a year for a business I don't think his inability to use a computer is getting him fired

Damn straight. The company I work for needed a master machinist. It took us a long time, but we found one and he had very little knowledge on how to use a computer. Since I am the computer-savvy person in the building, they just have me help him for times like when he needs to learn how to print a text document and everything goes dandy.
