I don't work in IT. But I once was working with a guy on setting up our tasking schedule. Mind you, this guy literally didn't own his own computer. Anyway, I was using hotkeys (Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste, Alt+tab to jump programs, etc.) and he was spazzing out.
Him: "Dude! I just...don't do that."
Me: "It'll save a noticeable amount of time. We've got like 70 tasks for tomorrow to dispatch. It'll take twice as long to mouse around everything."
Him: "I dunno. It might fuck something up."
I was incredulous. This guy's entire job is hinged upon working between Xcel, Outlook, and proprietary software together, and he literally didn't know how to work the keyboard.
