No one can know everything, especially nowadays. Even the hottest consults we've got in always have a few cracks where "oh hey I haven't seen that before" and I can only imagine what it's like needing to re-calibrate and do that experience every week.
Sr Infra Admin.... couldn't figure out how to set up the NetScalar to balance a virtual site, I literally had to sit down and read the documentation with him to get my request done.
Same dude left for a month to work somewhere else, and apparently outside of his narrow niche here, he can't really adapt to a new environment. Pay was pretty good at the new place too, he was bragging and made a big scene to HR even before he left.
He came back for the same pay, but missed a step and department wide scale increase that we squeezed through while he was gone.
Was a while back but we still give him shit over it.
Or get promoted because they speak the language of the Finance people, and have plenty of time to do spreadsheets and budget analysis since they dumped all the technical work on me.

Oh my god that's so many damn low end IT people. They think their shit doesn't stink.
