VANITY - Am I the only employer experiencing this idiocy?
Posted on 04/10/2007 4:03:17 PM EDT by hardworking





This is unashamedly a VANITY post but it is intended to be a SERIOUS one. I have finally reached the point of complete bafflement in wondering what , if anything, is being taught to our young people in school! Here are some of my RECENT experiences as an employer. Am I the only one experiencing this level of idiocy in our country? 1. Two days ago I said the word 'penicillon' in a conversation. A young employee interrupted me and asked, "What is that?" I didnt' know what she was asking until she repeated, "What is that peni...you just said". ....

....

Can someone please tell me WHAT these kids are doing during the hours they are in school? It appears that they are not learning even the most basic skills.

6. The freepers are truly sad in the spelling department, but DU
doesn't get an A+ in that area.


If people would learn the difference between loose and lose, it would be a good start.
