I also do not like the differentiation between unskilled and skilled workers explained in point 1.
Clichés often fit, often fail just as much, and regardless of the motive, they can hurt. In that respect, one can ask oneself whether an intentional use outside of literature and other art is really necessary.
Just say screed (or construction) Heini, not because it would designate a native German, but because the idiomatic addition Heini has stood for centuries in our language for a replaceable representative of his craft. Then everyone will understand what you mean.
The perceived frequency with which clichés apply is directly related to their repetition. Energy follows attention. [...] It is precisely this mechanism that makes the poison in many statements and moves masses through constant repetition.
Unfortunately, it is not a cliché that the perfectly qualified skilled tradesman fails upon immigration because the "Bologna Process" only improved the recognition of foreign academic qualifications, but unfortunately not that of foreign journeyman certificates, and therefore he has to register a business in a master-free construction trade. To make ends meet better, he then brings his skills into other trades and becomes a frequently commissioned libero subcontractor for general contractors (I could also have said "jack of all trades," but I probably would have gotten flak again for missing gendering). Unfortunately, it does not move the masses at all when German chambers of crafts practice corrupt protectionism—for example, Nurse Olga is in the same position with the non-recognition of her high school teaching qualification. THAT is the scandal. With @Nordlys' consent assumed *smile*, I am happy to rename "his" "screed Ahmeds" as "libero subcontractors." However, as an old Heisenberger—I was not always a window fitter—I would like to note that following @hampshire’s argumentation from post #43, it is counterproductive inasmuch as it distracts attention from the fact that ignorance of foreign-acquired degrees primarily affects skilled workers from countries of origin where one is simply not named Heinrich. Outside Germany, one would be named like that most likely in Poland, but that is the EU and not affected by this phenomenon in this way. In case anyone has not understood yet, I gladly repeat: my explanation is NOT about a
differentiation between unskilled and skilled workers. Rather, the problem—and "screed Ahmed" ONLY NAMES it—is that institutions supervising market access for self-employed construction workers
reclassify skilled workers as unskilled due to ignorance of their qualifications!
missing overlap dimensions because of laziness to cut. Botched pockets and crooked rows.
Observing overlap dimensions would be a bricklayer’s matter, yes—botched pockets, on the other hand, are usually messed up at the planning level: namely when the planner deviates from the standard measure in such a way that it cannot be remedied by stone cutting (or again only by violating overlap dimensions). An aspect, by the way—to come back to the topic—that does not affect the concrete-extrusion robot but unfortunately affects the stone-setting robot to the same extent as the trained bricklayer Heini or his sickness substitute, the libero subcontractor :)
