....damn i forgot, i just thought about another one:
.....so one time we had this MAJOR issue where we needed to get certain items to the public. all of the public could apply but the elderley and handicapped were supposed to go straight to the top. we had an spreadsheet that was to be filled out daily with names to be sent up for delivery. we kept a paper copy and we also uploaded those names to an excel spreadsheet just in case we needed them.
.....this chick i worked with was given this task. it was also expected of her to upload these names to the spreadsheet. sure enough, 3 months later for some reason or another we needed the digital copy and she didnt have it. after a full day of her 'looking for it' we finally got ahold of her computer only to find out she only had 3 spreadsheet files saved.......2 of those we the same document just under a different name.
....why? what happened you ask? she didnt know how to use the 'save as' feature. she thought a little Telepathy and clicking save was going to just magically save each document uner a new name.
- so, we had 90+ days of spreadsheets reduced to 2. all because she didnt know that small little function.
....oh and before you ask. her position was dealing face to face with applicants every day.
