      Yeah, it’s also interesting that we almost never say “skilled work”. It’s just work vs. ‘Unskilled’. Might as well just stop with the division (which is only useful to billionaires and people in finance). Divide and conquer, I guess…

      I’m afraid it would become another marketing/HR term. We call you Core Contributors, which makes it seem like we’re being nice to you, behind which curtain we can mess you around and take more of your output for ourselves.

        To be honest I rather have people be nice to my face and screw me over behind my back, over them treating me like shit and also screw me over. ‘At least they’re being honest’ is overrated.
