I work with one guy who if they ever work in the medical industry, many, many people will die. It's incredibly dangerous to let them work alone on any task they haven't done before. I asked them to reset some passwords on a bunch of AD service accounts we use and they got confused, changed 1/3 of the passwords on the domains but updated all of them in the tools that use the accounts. So most of the accounts got locked and a bunch of stuff ground to a halt. When someone complained, they acted surprised/unaware in how changing passwords works.
Edit: Also, they hide most of their ignorance and ineptitude behind a "Yada Yada Yada" personality which makes everyone assume they know what they're doing. It's frustrating to cut through someone's ignorance like this, usually I'll tear apart something they say, they'll bitch and moan for several minutes as to why they didn't actually understand it before, then eventually sulk away to do the work, which still has a good chance of being done incorrectly. And they probably make around $100k.

I have the opposite problem. My profession chose to put Assistant in the job title and now everyone thinks I take people’s temperatures.

I can't even keep track of it anymore. What the fuck is the difference between outside sales, solutions engineers, solutions architects, inside sales, customer success engineers, channel partners, sales engineers, etc etc. The list is so fucking big of nebulous sales jobs, and is stacked with people that don't actually understand any of the technology they are trying to sell, so by the time their "designs" make it to my team for implementation the conversation usually starts with what is actually physically/technically possible vs what they have designed/offered.

I paid/tipped a family member with a 1080TI when it was worth around $300 a couple months ago for helping me with some remodeling. It's going for close to $800 now on ebay which is about what I paid for it new 3-4 years ago. He's mining crypto with it now el oh el.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 5800x from Best Buy Thursday. If 5800 and 5900 were similar to the differences between 5900 and 5950, I'd have done it. Problem is, $100 more gets me a pretty big performance boost.
