Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

If any labor were truly unskilled; you could come in day one and perform as well as those who'd been at it for 10 years. I can't think of one thing where that is the case. Does anyone still test if food has been poisoned by eating it first? Little skill, but man if so that person definitely deserves a good wage.

They're nice people.

That is such a dumb concept, the job shouldn't exist in the first place.

Except there are plenty of jobs where ten years of experience doesn't equate to ten years better at the job.

There's an upper limit to how efficient you can become at say - cleaning offices or picking up litter, or picking apples.

The cost of a new hire versus someone with ten years worth of experience just isn't worth it.
