I'm an industrial technician and I've worked with some engineers (there is a wide variety of good and bad as with anything). From my perspective, I agree with you (good video). What I can definately see happening... and would do if I was a business owner as well... is whatever I could to reduce the need for humans (automation, ai, modularity (plug and play designs/procedures that doesn't require high skill to engineer the next model or build/perform the job). There are only a few engineers in key positions that make most of the important decisions. The rest are just lego builders that cannot even export a 3d cad file properly so the skilled trades can build it. The policies that management put into place is done with this long term goal in mind (get rid of humans). We are going away from a society where people have more meaning in their work lives to a society where you are either rich or poor (the middle class is being erradicated). The company where i work prefers to get green engineers (pay them less) and make everyone else in the process suffer due to bad designs, lack of work ethic or experience, etc. and they actively defend the engineers for being incompetent and actively put stress on everyone else to compensate (bad prints for example when building a machine). This supports the theory, if you want good engineers, you have to pay for them, and some companies are not interested in that and would prefer to suffer instead. I'm in south-east USA.
