I don’t think it’s too unusual for people to think of their own jobs as super important and complicated and everything else is just simple shit in comparison. Watching someone do something they are trained at (because they do it day-in-day-out) often looks simple … until the moment you try it yourself and realize the amount of concentration you suddenly need and the many questions that pop up for details you didn’t even notice before.
It’s a form of short-sightedness and/or lack of experience. But not uncommon.
Is the OP not obvious sarcasm? In what world is packing boxes skilled labour when flipping burgers isn’t?
