- Comment on Is your job boring? This 1960s auto worker says his job was killing him 1 day ago:
Oh thank you also! It is really eye-opening. I have some additional historical context, that I learned in Business school.
Under Fordism, factory work was broken into tiny, repetitive tasks. Instead of one worker building most of a car, one might just bolt on the bumper all day. It made production faster and cheaper, but also made workers’ jobs monotonous and stripped of skill or creativity. It was then easy for each role to be replaced with automation, as technology improved.
