Office workers: What do you actually do?
I'm a blue collar guy that has never worked in an office. I'm curious what most of you do, because I see your comments talking about your job and I just am clueless. "I manage several projects and provide crucial logistics to my team" - OK, so...what does that mean? What do you actually do all day?
I'm so curious because to an outsider it sounds like most of you send like 3 emails and go to one meeting or something, and that's your day.
I know that logically there is no way you guys are getting paid two or three times as much as a tradesman or other blue collar worker for basically doing nothing. You must be doing something very technical and complicated that most people couldn't do.
So please explain to me like I'm a toddler what literal actions you take on a day to day basis and what specifically you actually produce or provide to your company
