Every generation hates eventually young people for listening to strange music that's just sounds like noise to them and having it way too easy compared to them.

things were better when we had rotary phones

you had to take extra care to enter the number properly or you'd be there for hours. hours! and god help you if your friend had any nines in his number

now these drat kids type the number into their drat i touch phones willy nilly, with careless abandon, and they don't even start or end their calls with "hello" or "goodbye"

I work in the business/finance office for a large health care system that has hospitals in 5 different states.

It is driving me insane that my regional director of finance does not have any sort of finance education. She started out as a call center rep and has been around for 20+ years. Even the VP of finance has a “computer science” bachelors degree.My newly appointed “supervisor” has a bachelor’s in motion science ( he wanted to be a physical trainer but that didn’t pan out, so he too started as a call center rep and worked his way up).

I’m a few terms away from graduating with an accounting degree and a CPA certificate on top of my masters in Psychology.

The fact that my direct managers and upper level VP of finance are less educated but have “been around” for 20+ years makes no sense to me.

How can a huge organization with a complex financial and billing system be run by people with no education, or education that doesn’t pertain to the job? Does this happen at other large corporations?

It’s becoming a sticking point, so much that I don’t respect or look up to my managers.

Being promoted just because you haven’t left yet isn’t admirable to me.

I'd assume because they've been moving round the company for 20 years learning how everything works? I mean I'm one of the few hippies left who still thinks a degree has value, but experience rightly trumps it almost every time (hard tech excepted).

Youre must be retarded otherwise you'd understand that work experience trumps academic credentials just about every time. Hth

You shouldn't put up with that. You obviously have the intelligence to make it on your own, I'd quit in the morning, first thing, if I were you. Then you get a long weekend to work poo poo out, and you'll have made your first million by Monday lunch, because of all your education.

I'm sure the guy who wanted to be a personal trainer but had to settle for working his way up from the call center has friends in high places pulling strings on his behalf.

I dunno, I somehow ended up as one of the folks you hate. I'm an accountant with no CPA and a liberal arts background who got into the field by being an office flunky long enough :feelsgood:
