No, they're just idiots. Myself and others have had the same training and responsibilities and do fine. It's not that difficult of a job.
i shall surely reap the rewards of working at the same level as these irredeemably dumb people. then i will prove my point online or something
I'm several levels up from them. But I have to deal with the problems they cause constantly. I did start at their level though.
thank you for your service i guess
Sounds like you're just an extra special boy. Surely that's the only explanation to literally all of your coworkers doing their job badly.
I didn't say all I said most. It's really probably not even most just a large enough portion of them that there's always some issue going on caused by their negligence.

It's not just about treating current employees well. It's also about offering enough at the hiring stage to attract more good workers. Higher starting pay and a better reputation as a place to work means more people applying, means that Methface Matt can't compete with TypeA Teresa to get hired in the first place.
People lie in their interviews all the time. The amount of conversations I've had with my boss regarding people he's hired that turned out be idiots that have started with "I don't know what happened with that dude, he seemed totally normal in the hiring process". We're also restricted in what questions we can ask during interviews because asking people probing questions is apparently not fair according to our HR dept which makes it pretty easy for them to BS their way in. Then we're stuck with their dumb asses for months before HR lets us fire them.
