"Unskilled" always seems like a slur - there's a fair amount of skill that goes into loading trucks properly and efficiently, same as any job.

I absolutely agree, there's skill in almost any job. But that's a whole other argument I didn't want to get into with this dude.

Tbh I imagine an actually unskilled job is being the CEO of a large corporation
