You are half right. Working on an assembly line is indeed not high value. But there is no need to defend the fairy tale that the brass of Fortune 500 are uniquely talented and indispensable. They are not in fact, masters of The Universe, especially in this Woke business climate. The fact is you could plug in any of 100 other company bureaucrats and get the same results. And there is no need to mythologize them into some weird breed of Uber- humans. They are overwhelmingly just highly- intelligent bureaucrats who know how to play the game at an elite level. And the game is rigged to enrich them and perpetuate the consolidation of resources.

I get this is your schtick. But you didn't prove your point.
If a $150 billion company has 150,000 employees and 100 are capable of running it, doesn't that tell you something?

Those 100 people could also step on to an assembly line if needed. If people want better pay, they need to make themselves more valuable. I worked in manufacturing for half my career, and these union fricktards are mostly useless trash.

Never go above and beyond.
File complaints if contractor is seen going above and beyond. (i.e. how dare a non-union operator help a crew lift a pipe)
Insane agreements around contractor allowed work and payment for non-work. (i.e. if a contractor performs a job and on-site maintenance wasn't allowed to "bid," they get paid those hours)
Insane agreements about overtime that allow for wild abuse of system (i.e. if you don't leave the site during shutdown, you get paid the whole time)
Act like petulant children if they don't get a fricking t-shirt that another employee received.
Sabotage equipment. (from small to turbine generators, disabling entire plant)
Spread lies and propaganda (i.e. using company time to design, print, and distribute fliers with fallacies about benefits, when union benefits typically exceed non-union counterparts).
Show up drunk and/or high, and file grievance when kicked off jobsite. (One of the fun parts of being a big feller... walking these assholes out the door)
And so on.
