Yeah, Adam Savage was saying that as a highly skilled person. I’ve worked with personality hires. I’ve worked with military-grade weaponized autism. I prefer the autism, because at least I don’t need to babysit them and double-check all of their work. With the autists, at least you can reliably know “if I give them {A}, I’ll get {B} in return. Not {C}, not {D}, always {B}.” I don’t mind teaching. It’s inevitable in any job. But working with personality hires always ends up being an exercise in patience, because there’s only so many times I can show someone how to do something.

PushButton@lemmy.world 1 day agoI am working with a full team of low skilled, feely-touchy people.
The product is no where usable, the parent company is starting to increase the pressure to deliver, but hey, it’s a nice place to stay until the doors close.

I would take a team of moderately-skilled, emotionally intelligent people over a team of jerks who like the smell of their own farts.
I wouldn’t want to work with a low-skilled team of anyone.
