Redditors: Rare! Interesting as fuck!
The usual brainworms about how people are standing around not doing anything though. As if construction workers are all somehow lazy rather than each of them having a specific job and they’re waiting for a previous job to complete so they can start theirs
I frequently have to spot my work partner who is operating a lift. The amount of times I’ve had someone ask why I’m just standing there… Like motherfucker if I don’t safety will walk my ass off site.
It was the fixation of businessmen that the WPA did nothing but lean on shovels. I had an uncle who was particularly irritated at shovel-leaning. When he pooh-poohed my contention that shovel-leaning was necessary, I bet him five dollars, which I didn’t have, that he couldn’t shovel sand for fifteen timed minutes without stopping. He said a man should give a good day’s work and grabbed a shovel. At the end of three minutes his face was red, at six he was staggering and before eight minutes were up his wife stopped him to save him from apoplexy. And he never mentioned shovel-leaning again.

It’s probably also safer and it reduces the odds of injury or simple exhaustion to design processes around people not having to do physically intensive labour constantly all day.
Most jobs have time where you wait around, too.

OMG, what brave soul did that? Here’s some reddit gold my good sir.
Americans go ape shit when they see a working class person whose job isn’t driving a pickup in order to send emails all day.
The absolute
in the comments. People saying they are wearing uniforms because it’s the only clothes they have or that they’re not actually working and are just putting on a show for the camera. Also, is it just me or has there been an uptick in videos like these going around after they did their test launch over Japan the other day? This is like the fourth video that’s made it to r/all this week and they’re all very similar.Dear god, look at this horrific regime that forces it’s poor citizens to do physical labor instead of exporting it or using their minorities. Horrific
