One of the recent changes to policy is that if you want to even be considered for certain jobs you HAVE to have a college diploma.
In the past someone could work his/her way up from the bottom, and if they showed good people and management skills they could become a manager even without a college degree.
No more. Now we live in a "credentialocracy" where we are being nagged, cajoled, harangued, and badgered by those with the "proper" credentials.
Street smarts and good ole' fashioned commonsense are no longer valued. Instead we get twits who still have zits and a degree from MIT that tell us how to do our jobs.
I would expect this if I were working for some namby-pamby green energy outfit, but not the company I work for.
Sad. Sad. Sad.
“Credentialocracy?” I like that one. Remember a few years ago when Michelle Obama was making a speech and complained that “they keep raising the bar?” Do you suppose this was what she was talking about? Probably not, but Ive always wondered.
