‘So it's my fault you can't save a file?’: Boomer boss blames IT employee for losing important work data, despite boss never saving his progress, leading to an office dispute

We all have people in our lives who make us wonder how they managed to get this far without having a single drop of technological knowledge or orientation. It is truly amazing (and slightly infuriating) that certain people can completely avoid adapting to necessary technological advancements, and still get so far in life.

More often than not, those people end up becoming our bosses, which then leads us to be assigned the fantastic task of helping them navigate through the easiest tech stuff. After which they still fail to understand it, every single time. If you're lucky, the most you get out of those interactions with your boss is a good laugh, providing they are self-aware of their incompetence. If you are not so fortunate, you might get in trouble for mistakes your boss refuses to admit they are responsible for.

After you are done, and finished screaming into a pillow about how annoying some people can be, click here for another story of a boss who demanded their employee accept a $1 raise for double the work.
