Julia Schäfer (@tschulique) shared a day on the job in a video with over 850,000 TikTok followers.

“POV: You never dated a bricklayer girl,” she said, filing bricks on top of one another in a red cami and work shorts.

She hammered a brick into place, then gathered another to repeat the process.

“What do you do?” she asked her followers.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts.

Some were impressed: “Big respect,” said one commenter.

“Respect for your work,” said another.

“What an amazing woman!!!” said a third.

One commenter even granted the worker a nickname: “Bricki Minaj,” said one viewer.

Others not so much — a few questioned the longevity of her technique.

“Hopes and dreams holding the block work together because the mortar definitely isn’t,” joked one.

“Pushing light concrete blocks in place with a metal hammer?” asked another.

Her followers were quick to jump to her defense: “I’m gonna presume she knows more than you do,” said one.
