Re:The Amazon worker: paid £18,000 a year to shift 250 items... by sweeneyrod on Saturday January 20, 2018 @01:38PM (#16194670)
My father worked in a mattress factory, which I imagine was fairly similar. Perhaps Amazon is worse in some ways (lack of human contact) but I bet it's a lot safer and has less heavy lifting. I'm sure he's glad he wasn't stuck there for decades, but I don't think he thought it was nightmarishly terrible at the time. And even the dullest-seeming jobs are usually enjoyed by a a few people.
