Nobody really knows anything. It’s a mystery to me how the company hasn’t crashed and burned yet. It’s gonna happen eventually, there’s no backup, no redundancy.
Are you working for the government?
lol fortunately not!
I think The government has too much redundancy, but then again, it would depend on which government you are talking about
I actually really like repetitive assembly work! I figured I’d lose my mind from boredom doing simple repetitive tasks (grab part from bin, load into welder, activate press, inspect weld, repack into finished bin), but actually, the job is so mindless that it frees me up to daydream all night about dumb shit.
Don’t need to talk to anyone, don’t need to disrupt my work to go do other things, and I don’t need to pay attention to what anyone else is doing. I can just do my thing for eight hours, work through the plot of “hmm what would the next ten years be like if the city got nuked”, and go clock out.
I think a guy sued his job for being too boring once. No reliable source, though. I think it was the repetitive job that did something to his hand. And according to my memory, he won.
Well if it hurt his hand then he sued for a workplace injury - an yeah, as much as I like assembly work they don’t treat us right on the production line. Things could be so much better
How many times I have to repeat the same thing to the same people on a daily basis.
Just because it’s a new unit/ work order doesn’t mean the process changed on how we do it Rhonda. I still need the same things sent to me/ filled out. Just like last time.
You need to make sure you put a cover sheet on your TPS reports.

I work in a Latin fusion restaurant. The owner is Palestinian and cannot eat a significant portion of the menu.
I work in Cybersecurity. Things do not feel as secure as they should be.
In a previous life, I was in the Navy as a Reacto Operator in the engine room of a ship. Nothing was done in the operation of that power plant without having a very large book in front of you with a step-by-step detailed procedure to follow. For most things, there would be a person reading the procedure while you did what they said, and there would be a supervisor there watching. Going off script was punished.
My current job is …not like that. We are lucky if there is something written down, even if it is known to be incorrect.
I work as a children’s illustrator and I was surprised that I had to change my art style to fit the market. I guess I should’ve learned sooner
In what way did you have to change it?
One of the easiest examples I can think of is that I had to draw five fingers instead of four.
How absolutely exploited all of my coworkers and I are
Before my first job, I was expecting people raging and yelling at me (like Steve Jobs/Linus Torvalds or that insurance boss from The Incredibles movie) but I was welcomed by very friendly and curious people.
How much college did not prepare me for it! I learned more in my first six months than I did my whole college education.
How many dead bodies I’ve discovered, and how many doors I’ve had to break down.
Office jobs, am I right?
When I started, age and experience doesn’t mean skill.
