Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills? (sh.itjust.works)

Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.

They'll read it and despite all the information being there, if it's even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it's complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

My boss is horrible about this. He also doesn't organize his inbox in conversation view so he'll randomly pop up in different parts of an ongoing thread and can't keep track of what people are talking about.

You should fire your boss. Sounds like they're not a great fit.

OMG fr. I'll ask my boss, shall we do option 1,or option 2? and he'll write back, Yes.

Actchually, that is a perfectly correct response according to propositional calculus.

One or the other? Yes, one or the other.
