Iq doesn't matter really. Everyone has a skill. For example I had a coworker who when hired was in a dark time. Not to give any personal details but he lost his job, his wife left him, she took the kids all in like 3 months. He came in and plainly said I don't want to think, I don't want to solve problems just just give me a machine and tell me how to run it and it will be run.

He was the best damn coworker I had ever. He beat my record of work in that machine by about 150% on average, his record was something like 3x my record. Now if the machine gave an error he would come get me and tell me to fix the error. He didn't care how the machine worked or what was happening, he came in, made product and went home. He was insane at it. He didn't want to think, he didn't care. That's someone else's job, I just run machine. He probably made more profit for that company then any other 2 people combined.

Everyone has a skill.

I've known a few people who don't.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

No, you knew a few people who were trying to have a skill they didn't have.

You have some skill, just have to figure out what it is

That was me for a bit after a significant relationship. Did not wish to be alone with my thoughts. Was a model employee

[-] vrek@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

He was amazing. He just wanted to be left alone and allowed to crank out work.

Based on this experience I think we should hire people who are in long term relationships and then have a seperate team whose job is to break that relationship for the increased output. /s that is way too evil for me

It can easily go the other way. I had a contract during which I lost a relationship right after losing my dad. Failed to deal with it, and soon after lost the contract too.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

Well go find the contract. It's probably in that drawer you throw old papers in
