Here are the results of searching “Linux sysadmin”, none of them requires MS Office experience but they all require Linux experience. Do you understand now why your comment is stupid?
Okay, so firstly, stupid != deceitful. Secondly, there’s absolutely no need for insults. Lastly, when a person says “office job” they generally don’t mean “Linux sysadmin.” They mean someone who writes documents all day or puts numbers into spreadsheets. And in the context of this conversation, it should be obvious that it’s referring specifically to those that use word processors or spreadsheet software. Furthermore, that link pulls up a whopping 4 jobs. That is not a good sample size, even if any of them did mention having to use a word processor, spreadsheet software, etc.
But hey, just accuse me of lying and stupidity. Not like there’s a person on the other side of your screen or anything.
Yep. 4 is a terrible sample size, I didn’t even look at the results since the point I was trying to make was about selection bias, which you seem to understand so I don’t know why you even thought posting the previous comment was a good idea.
I’ll apologize for calling your comment stupid, though. That was unnecessarily hostile of me and uncalled for.
Well, I wasn’t about to go through every single one of those results haha. Search “office assistant” in any city and you’ll have a thousand ads to go through. If I knew anything about the Indeed API and was better at scripting, I could probably count every single one that mentioned MS Office or some variety of it (and I’d be willing to bet that most would contain that due to having seen hundreds of those ads over the last few years) but I’m shit at scripting and honestly just cba.
And no worries. I got offended was getting snippy anyways, so I should take my own advice.
