It can be a thing for more skilled labor jobs. Sure you kinda suck at say… running machine shop equipment. You break more stuff and make more blem parts than most of the people in the shop. But it seems like you have a grasp on the overall processes and can type decently.
Boom now you’re not working on machines but managing machinists. Ordering what they need, stat tracking, scheduling etc.
