    I’m in between work from layoffs. I started at a grocery store because i needed healthcare and it’s a union job. It’s shit work. And I exhausting. But by no means is it disrespectful work. Who the fuck is going to feed everyone?

      The problem here is that it’s irrelevant experience. It’s absolutely a respectable job, but that doesn’t make you capable of leading a task force. I have a respectable job, I’ve never been involved in the film industry at all, beyond watching. So should I be the CEO of universal? Do you think by working at a grocery store makes you capable of farming?

          Also, as a former bartender, there is a lot of politics involved in that job. You’re in charge of a bunch of (hopefully temporary) morons. There’s risk assessment and mediation happening, controlling a bunch of people who are adverse to rules and being told no. Geopolitics isn’t that far from breaking up a fight in a bar. But he doesn’t have any of that comparable experience.
