Nice comment.
I also started reading this, expecting something Upton Sinclairesque, until I read
While working, the young people cannot talk, use their cell phones or listen to music.
Duh. I know quite a few places here in the U.S. that would double their output with a rule like that.
- Legion 17y agoI hear you on the cell phones and even talking part. But music, man... nothing makes it easier to slog through repetitive tasks like being able to toss on the headphones and block out everything outside my little bubble. Luckily my work life has progressed past that stage, but in crappy college jobs, yeah...
- sigstoat 17y agonot being allowed your own little bubble is potentially a safety issue in factories. your fellows on the line need to be able to shout warnings like "hey, don't dance into that machine press!"
