Find me a more obnoxious behavior set than producerism in modern America. Production is a tiny portion of the job market. Exploitation can and does happen in non-producing labor.
One area I can speak from personal experience is retail supermarket work. HORRIBLE industry where exploitation is just the norm of everything. A roughneck working on an oil rig has more freedoms and is taking in more pay (not to mention often having union support) than some schmuck who stocks shelves for $9 an hour, 40 hours a week. Labor aristocrats are the most vocally obnoxious shitheads out there who demand that the spotlight be on them and that ONLY their work is valid.
It's even worse with those fucking grocery delivery services now. The workers are literally running around the store to make the deadlines for doing people's shopping for these services like Checkers sixty sixty. I almost got knocked over by a poor worker running from shelf to shelf.
I know, mom used to work online shopping, it's hell, her being overworked lead her down the path to alcoholism that killed her. It's why I get really upset at assholes who have nice jobs that make people like us shut up. You're just another tool reactionaries deploy against the working class.
My work tried to get me on that online ordering shit I legit told my boss sure lets add it to my job description and give me a raise then. They fucked right off.

Yeah we need to have some class solidarity, people shitting on grocery store workers have no place in any leftist movement.

It's fucked man. They've got all these kids running around doing people's shopping for them getting paid fuck all.
Just look at these average salaries and convert them to USD (R15 = 1USD), it's beyond evil.

25 hours a week. Do people actually think that workers like that get full time? No. No, they do not.
