Skit shows funny workplace problem from @grantsgrassfed
The video presents a comedic skit where two workers inefficiently use a power tool with a short cord by having one person act as a human extension cord. A third person suggests using a real extension cord, but instead of solving the problem, he joins the human chain, making the inefficient process even more absurd. The video satirizes the phrase 'work smarter, not harder.'
