The difference is in culture and expectations. People can suck when they are allowed or expected to suck. They can’t suck when the employer sets high expectations. If a company wants to ease hiring and employment flexibility they have to set the bar low to increase the prospective candidate pool. Otherwise they have to be extremely selective and/or train people.
Perhaps the distinction is outside your imagination because it’s outside your experience.

You don't have to look far on the antiwork subreddit to find people who work in all types of different industries, technical and not, big and small, where some people just suck and everyone knows it and no one does anything about it.
- austin-cheney 21d agoThat is true, but it’s also why most industries require licensing and/or certifications. These things are not 100% effective, but are still excellent at removing disqualified candidates.
