I write this post on a sunny day on America's best coast. The frustrations experienced thus far a couple months into their career has me worried. Is this new generation too reliant on autocorrect? Are they just apathetic? Did we recruit wrong?
I'm sitting next to the analyst to help finish up a slide. Glancing at the slide for 0.02s you notice of myriad of red and blue MS Office underlining.
"Incremental Debt Avalaibel"
I asked, "hey, do you mind fixing the debt title there?"
Analyst proceeds to copy the misspelled word, open a browser, go to google.com, paste the word into the search bar and hit enter. "Oh, THAAAT'S how you spell it!" He exclaimed very closely in fashion to humans discovering fire.
So let's break this one down into a couple notches (vote below what you think happened here - target school analyst class of 23):
- Basic Vocabulary Syndrome
- This is no special word, you see it everyday and learned to spell it in elementary school? We should be able to spell that one...
- Technological Negligence
- Of the options available to rectify the issue, the most cumbersome besides walking to a library and grabbing a dictionary is the path they chose
- Right click in PPT will fix it
- F7...
- Apathetically Incomplete Work
- Did the analyst check their work? Were they not checking for spelling? Was I, the associate, expected to fix spelling?
Boy did some "healthy communication" occur after that.
Signing off from America's best coast. See you another blue moon.
I think your analyst is just broken. Buy a new one from Harvard, its new release season.
Have you heard of the Harvard Hubris Effect?
no haven't actually whats that? I mean context I'm guessing pride and like no ones better then me etc.
How in the world do you graduate from a target-level school and not know how to spell avalailabel?
Measly intern here. Had no idea F7 corrects spelling. This will make all of my “pls fix” requests easier.
Another pro tip: ALT + F4 when your model ref out. Seems to do the trick for me every long nights
