OK fair enough many warhousing jobs are comparable. Manual labour jobs are all more or less like that. The problem is when the company dos not give a damn about morale or worker satisfaction. Sees the workforce as nothing more than a machine.I thought we went through all that with the dire car manufacturing plants in the UK. Where the workers in the assembly lines were seen by managed in a similar manner where as the Germans and Japanese made every worker from every level be part of the greater vision.

The problem are many fold
1. the set packets per hour to a high unrealistic number, nobody seemed to achieve the numbers. Everyone seemed to fall short of their 110 target. Even management were not at all surpised if workers didnt hit it and they just set personal targets and made workers aim for 10 more of whatever they were currently doing. These is clearly set up for point 3 below.

2. there is no team work what so ever, it's a solitary job and workers can't even exchange more than a couple of words. Everyone needs to be productive at every second of their shift

3. There is no job security at all, the whole model seems to be designed to get new blood into the team. Get every drop of blood out of them. They will inevitably crash and burn and rack up the points and as soon as they do, they'll be sacked.

Guy got 1/2 point for being 2 minutes late!! 2 minutes.

We are a nation of lunatics. We let these blood sucking canibalist monsters into the country. They pay no tax, they contribute nothing back into the UK, devolved governments bend over backwards and pay for their warehousing. They destroy UK industry and we let them do all that because we can buy cheap goods.
