Business Insider:
Imagine going to work at 7:30 every night and spending the next 12 hours, including meals and breaks, inside a factory where your only job is to insert a single screw into the back of a smartphone, repeating the task over and over and over again.
During the day, you sleep in a shared dorm room, and in the evening, you wake up and start all over again.
That’s the routine that Dejian Zeng experienced when he spent six weeks working at an iPhone factory near Shanghai, China, last summer.
Factory work is never easy. It’s often mindless, tedious work.
Yep. And when people talk about bringing manufacturing back to the US they’re not thinking of this but of the old days where humans would build substantial sections of, say, a car. That required some training and skill and a human being added real value. This kind of thing is only done by people because their wages are cheap in China. Bring that task to the US and we’d automate it because we couldn’t afford to pay a person a living wage (plus benefits) to insert a screw.
The thing that struck me about this article was the lack of perspective. It’s easy for somebody in a comfortable country like ours to look at factory work and complain about how brutal it is.
Well, having worked in a couple of factories (fish and tire), I know how hard it can be.
It is hard, no doubt. I’m just a little tired of people complaining that hard work is somehow demeaning or belittling. It’s better than being unemployed. And I don’t think I could fully appreciate my desk job now without the hard work I did as a kid.
Let’s keep boiling that frog, then.
