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.
You gotta do it every day all day. Can eveyone do that? No.
No you don’t. The majority of retail and fast food is 40 a week. They probably have less hours than the managers because salary is cheaper than OT.
Under the aca a full time employee is 30 hours or more per week, so they’re going to give part time employees less than that to avoid giving them health insurance and other benefits. That’s why many people have to work multiple jobs.
