Indeed has a list of 15 jobs for people with no skills. I stopped reading at job #3 because they are completely ignoring the skills required of factory workers and dog walkers. Apparently people skills don’t count, neither does mechanical proficiency.
It’s also hot as hell with the sun beating down on you all day. Fuck that, being a sparky means I come in after the walls and roof are up but roofers work their asses off.
What’s the point of defending the existence of a bullshit job like that? A skill is something you can learn, can improve, and can be adapted.
None of that applies to a “greeter”. Of course it’s a subjective notion: a craft that takes ten years to master is skilled, a job that has you productive within a single day doesn’t. “skill” is a gradient, so the label “unskilled” is in itself meaningless.
“You’re denouncing an exploitative system, therefore you must be bad with people.”
What’s even the relationship between my previous comment and mine? Even for an ad hominem it’s incredibly weak. Anyway, if you believe having people skills equals cosying up, you’d be right, I’m not good at this.
“skill” is a gradient, so the label “unskilled” is in itself meaningless.
You know what else is a gradient? Size. Does that make terms like “big” and “small” meaningless? Just about everything in this universe exists on a spectrum.

WTELF‽‽‽ Roofing is the only thing in construction I have refused to do, because that shit sucks, and you need to be part goat

No they’re saying their co-workers specifically suck. The job probably still requires it.
Walmart greeter.

What skills are required?
Friendly demeanor, store knowledge, people skills in general.
Did you think about this for half a second, or did you just want to try and punch down?

Something tells me you wouldn’t be able to pass the people skills part

If those are required then they’ve missed the ball in hiring in many cases.
