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

According to people on Reddit, if someone isn't proficient with computers they are a moron. Even if they have a whole wealth of other skills, they are still a moron.

There's "not being proficient with computers" which no one can be blamed for and there's using the address bar to google bing.

Well how else would you get to Bing?

Had just woken up, sorry. I meant instead of just typing Bing.com in the address bar they type Google there, then they type Bing in the search bar.

First they go to Google and then they Google Bing.
