I have experience in an internal IT helpdesk position. All I can say is that you are greatly overestimating the computer competency of the average person.

Your workplace also sounds like an exception in terms of competency.

Also, maybe you should ask the powers that be if they have to assign so damn many. I work in the finance/banking industry. We only have to do an average of two per quarter where I work. Enough that it's somehow possible to be 10 or more behind sounds absolutely soul destroying.
