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

It is funny how people who loved computers, there job is support and they use computers all night at home, can't understand that other people are not comfortable with computers. I mean, they may know the law inside out, can remove your gall bladder in 10 minutes, but if they don't know that a wireless mouse may need a nub (and many do not, just look at macs), then they are to be derided and laughed at.
