Yes,why is it that some offices, more so the last two i have worked in, there is so much mediocrity among the employees? If it is a project that is being deployed people just run around like headless chickens without proper plan,If it is hiring most people have nice resumes but cant perform any technical work, blaming each other on failures etc etc, I left my previous employer because of this but where i joined i thought it is better but it appears to be worse.
It is like people just wait for the salary and organize travels but when it comes to real work you ask someone what he/she has been up to in the last three or so months ..there is nothing much said. Also being in a technical field most if not all of the seniors I have worked with if you question them or tell them your thoughts they come up with the cliche of I have done this more than you so this is the right way, with some intimidating emails(that i don't reply to). What is happening? Is it just me or are there any other people who have seen this at their work places?

@ Toxicity

What line of work?

@Toxicity, Nobody seems to know or care about anything these days. Maybe we should start by closing all the mushrooming colleges and universities. People stopped working hard kitambo. Banks have idiots in the name of employees, NOT all of them, but majority that i deal with. You end up explaining to them what to do as if you are the one working with a bank.

Bear with the times then later on open your own firm. After that you can be firing those sorry asses whenever they start behaving as if the office is their grandma's crib.

Just like there is so much evil in the world, would you commit suicide?

Funny thing is that, where others see a problem, someone might see an opportunity. An opportunity to organize, to bring together, to shine... maybe a promotion, maybe consultancy, maybe more money, maybe...

@Mukiri, @tinker, good points...

I work in an organisation where even the improper use of initials (in caps, with the dots) is critical...I hang around some old fellows where details, order and time is crucial..

when you are in such an environment, then venture out, its easier to spot what @toxicity is talking about.
the problem is perverse in GoK and those 'for money' private businesses... sadly ran by Miros...

This is the first thing I noted when I started working... The level of incompetence is too high!

In primary ..people are forced to cram to pass exams
In High school..People are forced to cram to pass exams
In University...People are chosen for the degree course to pursue...they end up stealing exams in most of the classes and graduate happily with degrees.
At Work place mediocrity is born as these people just pretend to work as they wait for the pay day!, they they realize they can make more money through thievery and corruption!!!! God have mercy!!
