    Who are these journalists who feel like they can make these sorts of scrutinizing judgments on people?

    There’s only like a handful of professions(nurse, doctor, civil engineers and construction workers, sanitation and transportation workers, etc) who are vital and probably closer to 100% nonbusy work.

    News flash you hack: people have been ‘task masking’ since the beginning of time especially in a capitalist society wherein increasing profits must be manufactured out of thin air, and your job is most likely complete bullshit

      Yeah this is pretty on the nose. A lot of jobs even if they aren’t outright bullshit also are downtime heavy and you may just be needed around in case you’re needed suddenly within a few minutes but you’re expected to be productive 100% of the time even when your core function isn’t really necessary.

      Working a trade fucking rules and you get to build something and see it in front of you and hone your skills and knowledge personally outside of capital W Work. I wouldn’t trade it for any other job.
