This is why I don't trust people who've never worked a "dirty job". Whether that's plumbing or cleaning the unholy horror underneath a restaurant stove, working a job where the work is objectively "done" or "you're fired" does wonders for basing people in reality. Rather than the ivory tower of "I got a Phd and then went to Twitter to sit with a glass of wine in a meditation pod" where their idea of a hard day is a hangnail.
Edit: I've worked some jobs that were both dirty and straight up dangerous no matter how many safety precautions you took. Jobs where "muy feels" and "words" couldn't talk you out of a mistake because one screwup would get you killed. None of those jobs had fricking matcha or diversity quotas.
