When I was a hiring manager, and this was while I worked at Ontario Power Generation - Nuclear Division many years ago, we had a motto: Hire for Attitude and Train for Success.
In the 1980s and 90s with the introduction of computers in the workplace, everybody suddenly could write their own documents without going through the “Typing Pool”. So, the typing pool became obsolete everywhere. The best response from management was to retrain the mostly female staff who became our finest First Line Managers throughout the organization. Some chose to learn a trade and work with tools in maintenance.
