Ever seen someone doing their “unskilled job” all their life? It’s just fucking magic!
The truth is that capitalists hate skilled workers, because those workers have bargaining power. This is why they love the sort of automation which completely removes workers or thought from the equation, even if the ultimate solution is multiple times more expensive or less competent than before.
Nothing is more infuriating to a boss, than a worker that can talk back with experience.
My guy do you think jumping on a teams meeting or using Excel and sending emails is difficult? Office work is unskilled work. Management is unskilled work. Having a degree didn’t suddenly make you a skilled worker. Hell, even sys administrator and programming are unskilled, all you have to know is how to Google stuff. They consider car mechanics unskilled for reference.
You’re proving my point. You have NO fucking idea what skilled labour is.
I’ll give you all my tools and lab equipment. Design a semiconductor. Do the electrical simulations at transistor level. Do the block level sims. Do the HDL. Do the layout. Send to fab, get it back, and now bring it up in the lab.
If I give you $1 billion if you did it yourself, you couldn’t.
These are skills that take 4 to 5 years minimum of training just to look like an idiot. Then another 10 years to start getting the hang of it. By the time you’re a gray beard with the mega skills and knowledge, it’s been 30+ years of hard skilled work. To know where to swing that proverbial hammer.
Office work is not just excel and PowerPoint. There is office work that is skilled. And idiots who don’t know what they don’t know, have no idea how hard it is. And will never know, because they’re too stupid to figure it out.
It’s probably a lot harder without any social skills, lmao
It’s basically a job requirement
For a billion I would absolutely make it happen.
And by the time you did, 20 years later, you’d be a skilled worker!
Maybe we should call them extremely skilled workers.
