As someone who’s had multiple surgeries that forced them to re-learn how to use their own muscles, anything that requires purposeful muscle movement is a skill. And even if it wasn’t, there aren’t any jobs that have you move a box. There are, however, jobs that require you to move a box to a specific known location without breaking the contents of the box, which is a skill.
Sorry, no. If you can train someone how to do the job within an afternoon, it’s not the kind of “skilled” people are talking about. Moving like a healthy human is not a skill. We are built to carry things. Being pedantic about it helps no one.
Just look at the comment I responded to for the definition; if you’re doing an activity well, it’s a skill. You might disagree, but that’s between you and the dictionary. The rest of us will be here working on making sure people are paid well regardless of whether or not you think their work isn’t “skilled” enough.
