Are our infamous Production Operators seriously overrated?

The OT's self proclaimed finest... production operators aka "big money plant baw" are they seriously over-rated?
All he has to do is sit around in a cushy 24 hour anti-fatigue chair, watch some gauges, turn a few valves every now and then and write it all in a log. But no, we get a few days a cold weather and they cant shut down the plant correctly leading to expensive sludge stuck in piping from Lake Charles to Corpus. ultimately this will lead to higher prices across the nation on too many products to name here.
Do us all a favor and read the shut down manual before the next cold snap.
PS. Thanks for screwing up my turnaround work.

They got spaghetti sauce to watch. Can't be bothered with manuals a reading and shite.

Until something goes wrong and he has that cushy anti-fatigue chair sucked so far up his arse only the wheels are sticking out. Being an operator is a good job until shite hits the fan.

Tell that to the management in charge. If they don’t say shut down, you don’t shut down. If they wait too long to shut down, it only makes matters worse.
Plants in the south do not have the heat tracing, and infrastructure in place for a major cold event like plants in colder climates. I doubt plants spend the million/billions to upgrade to that when we only get one major freeze about ever 5 years or so for a few days at a time.

It is a mixed bag honestly some of them are incredibly smart and over qualified for what they are doing and the job is 99% cake walk for them and they know it. Others I would not trust to tie their own shoes let alone run my multimillion dollar equipment but that’s America’s talent pool today.

Already happening. Incredibly unfortunate. None of you should cheer the loss of American jobs, especially those from a group that is largely patriotic and supporting our country

They need to learn to read at more than a 4th grade level first

I agree. Where else are these baws going to get a god complex from? Sure as shite ain't coming from turning wrenches.

Going to happen to everyone eventually. I predict AI will progress faster than robotics and manual labor will be the last a little while longer than the mental jobs.

Some operator jobs are cushy, most are not these days. I spend 75+ percent of my time outside on the units. Lots of new hires have quit because they assume the job is like they read on here.

OSHA requires a certain headcount of operators. They aren't going anywhere.

I thought the old joke was that, in the future, they will have a computer, a board operator, and a dog. The dog's job is to bite the board operator if he tries to touch anything.
