I work in tech, mostly support and admin stuff and a bit of scripting. My team is seriously overworked and my team lead has been asking for a new hire for more then a year. We finally got a new guy, he is Mexican. That in itself is not important but I was spending time trying to explain to him what we are doing on this project and the guy does not even know how to ssh to a host. When I got hired I had to pass tests on networking, bash scripting and linux, the tests I took are not enough for what we do and should have covered a lot more but this guy knows less then a high school student that likes computers.
I'm so done with affirmative action bullshit. I have nothing against the guy and wish him all the best but this is demoralizing. We've been so freaking overworked for so long, fuck this crap.
"Doesn't know how to SSH to a host." Jeez, I set up an FTP server on my phone 'cause it's easier to move files with it than a cable.
People really need to figure out technology; the modern trend of child-like interfaces is at least partially to blame.
