Those are two separate sides of your argument. Gaining skills and being irreplaceable useful/good at your work are the best way to go about things and always will be.
Saying people should be happy to just have a job at all if they aren't part of the upper half of society, is egotistical speak from someone who thinks himself irreplaceable and above the lowly masses.
Its the exact mindset that is behind "if you don't go to college, you won't ever succeed at anything in life" that destroyed our entire job market, academia, and numerous other facets of society. Because civilization is filled with jobs that have low end or even no skills that are crucial to our functioning, and treating them as pathetic prizes easily replaced is how we end up with Jeets owning every gas station and Mexicans in every field.
phrase it however you want. The reality is, if you aren't desirable above the rest, the odds of having and keeping a job are dicey. No amount of commie-speak can make things otherwise.
Except it isn't, because you are competing with the same low skill level competition. Which means the fact that you are already hired, the paperwork done, and the training complete puts you well ahead of any new hire unless you are well below productivity or some other major factor. Which is how something like McDonald's could be a "career" for someone who money wasn't a major factor, instead of requiring it to be a transitory period.
You know, the way it worked for decades. Until the wrench got thrown of "we can just hire illegals at slave rates so we are doing you a favor by keeping you hired, so you best be happy about it."
I know its fun to say things that are diametrically opposed to the Leftists' version, but that's the kind of short sighted thinking that gets us into messes and makes the Right easy to manipulate.
if it's not illegal immigrants, it will be dipshit teenagers, H-1B visas, college dropouts, the list goes on. if it's a low skill position, or the job market is saturated, there is a ginormous pool of people who can replace you and your employer knows it.
The internet has amplified this issue because anyone can look for a job anywhere in the country at any given point, so we are now all competing against everyone else at a given time.
However, the fundamental fact here has not changed since the inception of job markets. Unions were created to fight against this natural economic force, and we see how they destroy everything they touch.
I'm not saying it's right or moral, that's just how it is. if you don't want to be replaced, don't be replaceable.
