Not being able to count to the teens is beyond insane.
It's not that they "can't count to the teens". The wording used in the OP was that they keep "losing track". That's very different and could suggest some kind of visual processing or attention issue rather than not understanding basic numeracy. Those kinds of issues are common intellectual disabilities that people can still succeed with if they find the right mechanisms to allow them to do the same tasks as other people.
I was born just before the death of the floppy disk and the number of people I've met who can say "I bet you don't know what's that symbol is based on" while also not knowing it saves your work is the reason I'm in mental health instead of tech.
Stupid has nothing to do with age.
It’s not insane, it’s divergent. There could be many reasons behind it.
Its one example, but the new engineers coming in expect people to solve their problem while they check their insta. Literally had my tech guy deployed to help a new engineer, as our guy demonstrates the software steps to solve the issue the guy needing help is doing personal social media checks.. He though people just come do it for you when you get stuck. We have even had young supposed IT staff call in for support and they clearly have no skills on solving issues.
