A few jobs ago the IT Manager put out feelers to the engineering team asking if any of us knew anyone interested in a junior IT Admin role.
I knew someone looking for work at the time and asked for a link to the job description so I could forward it along.
In the description included the phrase “without Googling” for a majority of tasks. It’s not as if the role was especially demanding or contained a ridiculous amount of esoteric knowledge; it was the equivalent of a help desk position. I can’t imagine ever doing help desk, much less ever again (fuck that stress) or for someone who thinks it’s a role where you will never need to Google anything.
I pointed this out to my friend with a frown on my face, but left it up to him if he wanted to apply. He read the job description and said “yeah no. That boss sounds miserable to work with”. My interactions with that manager were quite minimal, but judging but the attrition we noticed on the help desk team, I think he was right.
