I have a colleague making close to twice my salary struggling with IT…but he’s extremely skilled at his actual job.

But like… saving a PDF should not be considered IT lol

Yeah my bet is that the meme is facetious

Nope it’s not facetious … I’m an ICT professional and I see this regularly.

Ok then, sure it’s extreme but document handling is not necessarily a key (or even important) part of their work. Yes they absolutely shouldn’t need to use 15min or get help to save a document, but if their skills in their actual job are spectacular and they produce the work of two in that area, of course they still should be compensated well. I don’t know your specific case, but this is almost the case I mentioned.

It’s pretty funny how the people who only have computer skills are hating on people who only have their own skills too

Computer support is literally only useful to other humans doing useful stuff

These people have 0 usefulness outside of helping the guy print a pdf and yet they consider themselves so high and mighty

This is like saying Software Developers have a useless skill set, except to make the important, value creating, end users more productive.
