@thesoragirls Duties. But I actually did go to Fremont factory to detail cars.

@yunta_tsai is this a metaphor for the janitorial duties of model building or do you literally mean janitorial work?

@yunta_tsai nobody wants the unglamorous job even when it's the one holding everything else up

@yunta_tsai @grok what are some thing we can do to make janitorial work easier and a more enjoyable profession?

@yunta_tsai Every role matters. The work behind the scenes is often what keeps everything running.

@yunta_tsai unless you want to do their job, you should thank them for it.

@yunta_tsai Then pay more?

@yunta_tsai The menial labors of the day, faithfully done, are the unseen threads that bind the Fellowship together.

@yunta_tsai I aspire to be a janitor on Mars 🤗😍👏

@yunta_tsai Attach names, credit and honor to said janiotorial duties
Ppl take pride in work like a motorcycle factory making workers sign inside of the oil tank (I forgot which company but it was a classic)

@yunta_tsai i’m the chief executive of odd jobs at my company. including cleaning the toilet. no one is above the toilet

@yunta_tsai you might need to rebrand the janitorial career as maybe environmental surface optimization engineer for human productivity systems and watch the applications come in thick and fast 😄

@yunta_tsai It was easy for Tesla to take my money, yet they never delivered

@yunta_tsai Lack of advice and guidance

@yunta_tsai You saying Optimus is behind schedule 😂?

@yunta_tsai There's no shame in grunt work

@yunta_tsai Well that's not true. If it were truly hard to find a janitor, they would make more than $10/hr.
According to staffing agencies, janitors move on after an average of 6 months to higher paying positions making the industry one of high turnover but not hard to staff.

@yunta_tsai Because there is a difference between the two, the outcome of the former will affect the future, while the latter will only become history.

@yunta_tsai I would gladly be a janitor for Tesla
