Yeah this is pretty on the nose. A lot of jobs even if they aren’t outright bullshit also are downtime heavy and you may just be needed around in case you’re needed suddenly within a few minutes but you’re expected to be productive 100% of the time even when your core function isn’t really necessary.
I worked at a chain pizza restaurant and we had a computer screen above us that tracked the stores profitability. If we weren’t on track to reach $10k for the day my manager would start sending people home to make up for it.
So a total of ~15 employees could rake in a profit of $10k in the first place but everyone was making $7.25 an hour.
Not much to add except corroborating that experience at a chain pizza place lol. We regularly were told to send our third person home because labor was “too high” one hour before the lunch rush.
Except I was a shift manager so I made $7.50 though
