Filling out TPS reports is not a survival skill

  This is a function of specialization. You fill out TPS reports to generate value for a company which allows you to purchase food created by people who specialize in food generation.

  Not all work involves filling out TPS reports. A lot of workplaces have completely automated this aspect. And you should feel free to quit jobs that haven't for jobs that have; by doing so, you're making the economy more efficient.

  Honestly asking, how is it not a survival skill? It's a high level abstraction that's part of the "need" for the company, which is why they're paid to fill out that report, with the skill being all the intelligent/understanding required for that high level abstraction. It's literally paying for all the needs and squishy comforts of life for that individual, most likely much squishier than an average individual.

  That's why I said proxy. The vast minority of members of our society take care of our actual physical needs. The rest of us do other things to provide other kinds of value, so that the farmers can do things like enjoy a nice TV show at the end of their day without producing it themselves. For some of those other companies, a TPS report is required.
