I haven't read any details about what the jobs entail, so I don't know how anyone could not be qualified enough or smart enough to do the jobs being offered and yet be employed doing those jobs. I clean pools at a golf course country club, but I know nothing about adjusting pool chemistry or about pump room maintenance, so I am essentially unqualified and untrained for the whole job. I suspect that those who handle those other aspects of the pool care want to keep that division of labor so that they will stay indispensable. I suspect that this is often the case in any business. It is always easier to learn all aspects of a job or profession in a small business than in a large one because everyone in a small business needs to wear multiple hats. As a landscaper in a small company, I learned everything from regular maintenance (trimming and clean-up) to irrigation repairs. Larger companies keep divisions of labor and some workers will never perform irrigation repairs. We are all jealous of our little fiefdoms, and it is a human fault, not a Chinese specialty.
