Good, not really, efficient, hell yeah. And efficient is what makes money and thus companies should really be interested in experienced workers, no matter how you call that state.
If McDonalds didn’t care about effectiveness they wouldn’t be a household name, let alone an international corporation. People talk down about fast food, but it isn’t their business strategies that are bad.
I think the problem is that people don’t get paid enough to care anymore. Not even the managers. There’s too much wealth hoarding at the top in the US.
All labour is skilled labor. Unskilled labour was created by capitalists as a flimsy justification for paying people unlivable wages. ANY labour deserves a livable wage. Needing a second job is an injustice.
Now that being said, packing boxes for Amazon is 100% unskilled labour. A machine spits out the box template sheet with creases where the cardboard sheet should be folded to turn it into a box within seconds. Another machine prints the receipt that goes inside, and Another machine spits out an appropriate amount of packing to make sure the product stays in place inside the box. Another machine spits out a calculated amount of tape. Another machine spits out the info sticker that needs to be stuck on the outside.
Does this need a lot of skill or training? I don’t think so, no.
Packing a box is skilled labor?
Technically neither are since they don’t require a recognised qualification to be eligible to apply.
I mean… Just as logically though, they both are… Any shit takes practice to get good at really.

McDonald’s definitely don’t care if their employees are effective or not. And they don’t reward effectiveness so what’s the point in trying.

That’s not what the term means though. These are actual, real terms, that denote the amount of qualification needed to do a job.
Oh just wait. We’re getting closer and closer to “graduate degree minimum requirement for all janitorial positions…”
No, that’s why temping agencies easily fill warehouse positions
Lol
