Should I be including an objective or a summary at the top of my resume? What's the current trend here?

Summary maybe but no objective. We know what the objective is. It’s like saying you’re proficient with MS Word. We know!
Objective is ok if it’s super specific and you can edit it per job application. Otherwise forget it

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)
