In The Dispossed by Ursula Le Guin everyone takes turns at the unfavourable jobs. A character asks whether that's inefficient having to constantly train people. Well yes, is the answer, but what are you going to do? Force people to do work that kills them?

Good book. Highly recommend

    A lot of dangerous jobs require significant training and are safer when done or supervised by people with years of experience.

    I saw this a lot in corporate middle management treating software developers as generic assets who could just be shuffled between teams as necessary without acknowledging people have different experiences with different technologies and different competencies.
