A Satirical Take on Modern Job Requirements and Corporate Qualifications
This social media post uses humor to highlight the perceived absurdity of modern hiring standards. The text suggests that while a college degree might be a prerequisite for basic office tasks like sending emails, the same level of academic credentialing is not necessarily required for high-stakes, physically demanding roles, such as operating heavy industrial machinery that functions at extreme temperatures. The post serves as a commentary on how different industries value formal education versus specialized technical training and hands-on experience in the workforce.
Okay, jokes aside, I once met an "engineer" at work, a young guy just under 30 who hadn’t even been to college and couldn’t understand what the "CC" and "BCC" options in an email were for. So maybe there really is something to it :P
Wrong email -> possible thousands to hundred thousands of damage Wrong use of (technical intact) machine -> injured guy, no damage to company when they kept saftey protocol.
Uneducated people just can't get it. They see big machine and they lose their mind. It is pointless to explain that there are no such jobs like "sending emails" or that most mails would be practically unreadable to them. Like this post for example. Did anyone managed to figure ou
Three years of apprenticeship, multiple certifications and courses to even operate a bundle puller in my trade. Still more accessible than a degree to send emails though. Least you get paid to learn.
To write emails, you need to know how to read and write, rewrite, and take responsibility for the quality and results of your communication.
Funny thing: most of the jobs in germany either require to have studied, or to get a certificate that qualifies you for said job. We call that "ausbildung" after that you are a "geselle" and allowed to work in a specific field, for example operating heavy machinery
To run any bigass machine you need certification
celcius, fahrenheit or angular?
Classic idiot reasoning
Trust me, you'll need a serious training to runs a 2000 machine and you will not drive it until your late 70s unlike Outlook.
