126. Thank you for this

I worked for the Leadership of a large federal agency. Part of my divisions’ responsibility was to handle major reports and correspondence and records management, which is a major function in the federal government. Over the course of 20 years, I began to notice the inability of young staff to read cursive, and it was a major problem. They couldn’t fulfill their job without extra assistance because they couldn’t read edits and notes that were written in cursive by senior leaders. So guess who had to sit down and read those notes and print them out in block letters on a sticky for them? I considered it a major skill that they were lacking, and time out of my busy day. I nearly laughed out loud at somebody’s comment below that was like, oh just tell management they shouldn’t write in cursive. What kind of fantasy land do these people live in? They all think they are so special that the entire world should make accommodations for their lack of knowledge. If you don’t have the skills for the job, then get a job elsewhere. It’s simple.
