Although I know exactly what you mean, for once in my life, my workplace is seemingly filled with competence, professionalism and friendliness.

Definitely not much of that here... actually I shouldn't say that. I work with a great group of people, they are probably the main reason I am still here. However, upper management is a bunch of idiots.

well-educated does not necessarily directly correlate with common sense, that's for damn sure.
it's amazing how 'dumb' really 'smart' people can be at times. :P

Ahhhh, the difference between "book smart" and common sense.

The higher up the worse it gets. I am a technical writer/trainer/editor. One of my jobs is to edit corporate communications and emails that come from higher up. Threre is not one manager, director, or executive that can properly communicate in the English language. The number of spelling and grammar errors is ridiculous.

I wouldn't mind if they couldn't communicate in English, I'd just like them to get the facts or directions right and maybe give them out all at one time instead of in drips and drabs over days at a time.

it definitely seems the more initials you put behind someone's name,
the more points drop from their IQ's.

the lack of common sense in this world has reached epidemic proportions,
and it is just so damned frustrating. i am amazed on a daily basis at the sheer stupidity.

oh this is what i deal with

i work with the system that all employees use to enter time, view paychecks, etc

so when we make a change we have to communicate it to everyone

people will either write a message that doesn't make sense or is way too technical for the general population

it amazes me each time

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I constantly have to tone down the techno-babble so real people can understand what they are supposed to do.

Chromiam - I agree with you there too. Our company is the worst at communication. We make major changes here and there and no one tells anyone. But when you do communicate, and you are a highly paid, highly educated exec, please act like you understand how to write a complete sentence and know what commas and periods are.
