I've been in your shoes and I've accepted this fate.

I am the expert. I know things. I choose to change my viewpoint to taking pride in making the best possible explanation that serves the users' need. When they ask me "what do I do?" I no longer snicker or sigh that they don't know or that they are too lazy to find out. Instead I copy-paste the answer they need. It takes me seconds, perhaps it saves them thinking. Thinking seems hard to some people. I choose to believe I save the company some time when I think for them.

Yes, they do not learn when they are spoon-fed the answers. Yes, they could have figured it out. So what if they didn't? They are producing whatever they are supposed to produce.

When I get too tired of the same questions, I change jobs. I am in a C-level position now, and somehow the questions from other C-level managers are similar. They have no idea how they should deal with things from my business area, and that's okey. I'm here to help. I help. When I get too tired of the same questions, I will change jobs.
