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.

    From my experience in both the workforce and reading the news, I feel like CEO is a strong candidate for “unskilled job”. I mean, when someone can simultaneously be the CEO for a major car company, a major rocket company, a brain implant company, and an infrastructure company, and be the owner, CTO and Executive Chairman of a major social media company, while still having time to spend all day xitting out their unhinged thoughts to the world, CEO has to be the easiest job in all of humanity.

      It’s not easy. You have to be completely dead inside and ready to fire all your coworkers at a moment’s notice!

      You’re only thinking about the biggest of the CEOs, the ones you read about in the news. 99.9% are not like that. The vast majority have to actually lead the company. Some suck, and fail. Some are awful and get by on luck for a while, then fail. Some are kickass and keep the company moving forward. Most are in between.
