What work is there at Google that can be done by a person with no particular skills?

Almost anybody can move a box from a conveyor belt to a loading dock, or unload boxes from a truck.

That hardly matters. Amazon provides hundreds of thousands of new jobs and they get crucified for it. Same with any other large company with a huge number of workers.

It's just a bad incentive structure because nobody wants these workers due to the terrible PR. Amazon is trying it's hardest to automate everyone out of a job.
