    I’m factory labor and I really like it!

    … as long as the fucking machines work and the computers work and the label system works and the kanban system works and…

        Don’t mind getting dirty or physical exertion much, but yeah, the heat is pretty awful. I walk about three miles a night carrying metal car parts while wearing PPE, in the summer it gets pretty brutal.

            Drinking between half to one gallon of water every night helps a lot, and I regularly replace my shoe inserts to stay comfy. I dunno, I really do like it (as long as I don’t have to deal with bullshit (I always do))

        There’s better and worse production jobs. I like small scale production of high value machines, far more laid back than mass production lines. I basically sit around all day putting stuff together and it’s the most enjoyable work I’ve found so far. The place I work now makes optics based products for climate research and it’s super laid back.
