Antiwork

I'm confused, does he actually think a box packer is skilled labor or is this just a whoosh from the girl.

All labor is skilled labor.

Guys desperate to put himself above another, with the delusion of throwing shit in a box being skilled labor, instead of standing in solidarity with the mcdonalds worker and demanding more for both of them

I don't think dude knows what "skilled labor" means.

Packing boxes at Amazon is skilled labor?

TIL packing boxes is skilled labor

I think (choose to believe) the original tweet is satire.

Since when is packing boxes a skilled labor?

I rather a dude handling my food get paid better than someone touching cardboard.

No balls ony food is preferred over no balls on my Amazon packages.

This is the American way though isn't it? Push downward instead of moving upward. If flipping burgers is easier than packing boxes, and makes you the same money, why not quit at Amazon and start flipping burgers at McDonald's?

Who wants to tell him?

Seems a lot of the comments are focused on debating the word ‘skill’ applied to each job while another capitalist gets off free while infighting amongst people who should be supporting each other in a shit world that capitalism built and benefits off of.

Enshitification is where there’s a CEO somewhere that fucks everyone over and remains untouched.

That person really should be the focus of hate here.

I’ve never worked in fast food but I’ve been to them and I’ve watched the workers. You can’t tell me packing boxes at Amazon is skilled labor and that shit isn’t.

Packing boxes is not skilled labor.

Also, I'm not entirely sure that putting an item that a machine gives you into a box that the machine tells you to put it in requires more skill than working at McDonald's.

It's not "skilled" labor.

You need zero skills to work at Amazon.

That being said, you will learn things if you stay long enough.

Skilled labor is like a trade or where you need a specific education. I'm not even sure you need a HS diploma to work at Amazon.

But yes the point of her reply is also very apt. Class solidarity friends. If you're single making <55k or whatever the median income in your area is, there's not a whole hella lotta difference regardless.

But I'll also say this. There's a lot of mfers that do MUCH less work at desk jobs, and in fact are entirely redundant and unnecessary, compared to a fry cook or Amazon tier1 employes.

Fry cook or box packer. He upset he picked a harder job?

I like how everyone is upset with the "skilled work" part. But nobody did the calculation, that with Bezos pay and 16 dollars per hour, you could hire 562500 Workers. Which I think is crazy

I'm so over the use of "checks notes" for emphasis. for every entertaining way of making commentary there are thousands of boring copies.

Lol at calling packing boxes skilled labour

That is way easier than working at McDonald’s

Brother how you gonna diss on spongebob like this?
