I’m talking about a cultural problem started by Henry Ford over a hundred years ago called the assembly line. Where you only have one job to do and you do it over amd over with little variation. It started in industry, but shows it’s face in every profession.

Im glad your personal experience is better, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a very dangerous trend in most professions that this entire post is literally complaining about.

Yes, situations should be more ideal for the worker. But they’re not. That is my entire point.

“Working with engineers as my profession”

“Henry Ford over a hundred years ago called the assembly line.”

Engineering IS a multidisciplinary career; you are not going to do finite element analysis on a stack of paper, I don’t even think governments will accept a full-blown hand sketch drawing. Everyone will at least want a cad file, everyone will want to use software with interoperability, paper doesn’t do that…

Now let’s talk about skillset inflation and wage stagnation, while babysitting your colleagues being paid more than you.
