Phil just described his helicopter parts job:
"They wanted you to get all your work done, but wouldn't let you have overtime, which is illegal. And they gave me a shit ton of work to do all the time. If I hadn't done all the work in 40 hours I wasn't allowed to finish it with overtime, which is bullshit. In the end they gave me a laptop and said: "Oh... here's a laptop, you can finish your work from home." So that's what I did, I'd come home and work for more hours on the laptop. Even when I was sick and couldn't come in to work, I'd spend all day working on the laptop at home.
If I didn't go to work or do a whole day of work there, the place would have completely collapsed and fallen apart."
Phil is 100% correct that his job was vital for the helicopter parts factory to operate. You see Phil's job was the bottom of the totem pole. His duty was to answer the phone when someone needed a part. "Thank you for calling Skiorsky Helicopters, this is Philip. How may I assist you today?" Without Phil, nobody would place orders. The machine workers would have no parts to make. The managers would have nothing to manage because there would be no orders for the laborers to work on. The upper management would have nothing for management to do. The CEO would have nothing to do. The company would crumble without Phil's job.
Or they could hire literally anyone else who has the ability to answer a phone and take an order.
His job was to pick up the phone. "Yes, I need a new circle widget for my flying machine" Phil would find out what exactly they need. He would type it into the computer and see if there was that specific part available in the warehouse. If there was, he would set it up for someone else to mail it out. If not he would set it up for the machine shop to fabricate the part.
This is not speculation. This is not a guess. This is exactly how Phil has described his job multiple times in the past. If Donald Trump's helicopter broke, he would call Phil. Yeah, not because Phil was the guy. It's because Phil's job was to answer the phone.
Remember that according to Phil's own words and with video evidence to strengthen the point, Phil would come home after work and get drunk. Pretty much every day. When was he doing extra Skiorsky work? What kind of work could he possibly donate home? "Sorry, Johnny. You didn't make enough hamburgers today. McDonald's needs you to take this laptop and work from home" It doesn't make sense. It's a retcon and a lie.
This also ties in to the lie, "there were no jobs in my sector". He had no fucking sector. He is not a specialist. He's not a neurosurgeon or a microbiologist. He answers the telephone. He orders vehicle parts. Get a job at Dominos or Napa. "Answering the phone at the helicopter factory my dad works at" is not a sector.
It's been noted before that the changes in restructuring the plant were actually Phil's father's job. Phil's dad was doing things internally to make the company more efficient. Phil was the kid who handed daddy a wrench and then believed he fixed the car.
------------------------------
Phil can't do laundry. His mom did it for him.
Phil has a birthday. Phil's mom sends him money.
Phil can't paint a wall a solid color. Phil's parents fly out to do it.
Phil can't etc. Etc. Etc. His parents do it for him.
I believe this reinforces my theory that Phil's dad did his schoolwork for him. Think about it. We have Phil, who can't count. We have his dad, who is a business professor. Phil lives with the business professor. Somehow Phil gets a business degree.
Something smells fishy here
