Are technical skills enough for blue-collar managers?

[00:00:00]Technical expertise is not a substitute for people skills. I mean that there's just I found that to be 100% true.

[00:00:05]Somebody is a fantastic operator, fantastic technician, doesn't necessarily make a good manager.

[00:00:10]>> like all of it's still rooted in the misogyny of it as well, cuz stereotypically office work or white collar or pink collar might even might be like, oh, it's feminine. It might be more soft. Oh, blue collar, the masculine job. You got to be on top.

[00:00:23]Well, you know, that sort of thing as well, cuz I mean, the amount of times people have told me to check my attitude, they're not telling any any of the guys that work to check their attitude.

[00:00:31]I'll tell you to check your attitude.

[00:00:32]Like, talk to me again like that, but but I've gotten more of this like standing up for myself being in the blue collar industry because a lot of them there are like, yeah, cool. I know not to mess with you anymore.
