Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What is your specific role and responsibility? Big range of factory jobs
I do IT for a tech company.... but I've worked in a pork processing plant and a box making factory before and the satisfaction I got from doing those jobs was pretty damn high in comparison. I make at least 6 times now what I made then.
I've never done anything but retail and white collar but what was fun about those jobs? The work seems pretty monotonous and mindless
At least with retail I was working in a country with nicer people than america so the customers were generally kind
It probably wouldn't appeal to many people but I loved just doing routine things over and over all day long and getting really really good at them. At a certain point it's just a flow and you're free to daydream about whatever you want. Before you know it the day is over and you did a ton of shit and it feels good.
Fair enough. I actually want a job like that too eventually because my coding job is a nightmare of being around the worst people ever and trying to keep up with my much better teammates (who all hyper-optimized their life for a coding career, hence being the worst people ever) in the cutthroat environment
That being said, I never imagined it would be a job I like, just one I dislike less
i agree.. i feel the same way except I'm not even a programmer so I just get shit on constantly on top of having to deal with insufferable personalities with massive god-complexes. i thought i wanted to get into programming when i took this job, and they made it sound like that would be a possibility, but it isn't and i don't want to now.
