Most of these workers have no technical skills. Their jobs are very physical and laborious in many cases. My dad was a maintenance tech at Frito for a very long time and he never experienced anything like this. They still would not promote him to management because he had no degree, despite him being the most senior and experienced maintenance tech there. They often flew him to other plants to set them up, do PLC magic, etc. Anyway, the packers, cooks, and all the unskilled labor are treated like replaceable cogs. There is zero upward promotion in these roles. It takes almost no time to train someone up for most of these roles. They will use them up and hire the next person who will burn out in 6 months. (I think these kind of working conditions are terrible, but it’s pretty clear why Frito can do this).
