    Idk the factory shut down for the holiday, just like every factory I’ve ever worked in. Yeah I’m an intellectual laborer, but the folks on the floor doing manufacturing also got the day off

      Back in the day I worked in a plastic molding factory, on the workshop floor. Offices would get free days for everything and different stuff like food days, gifts for Christmas and other things while we got absolutely jack shit.

        Yeah that’s bullshit of them. I’ve seen a lot of favoritism towards office workers in manufacturing, but never differing days off

          It is, that was Schneider Electric which actually was one of the best treating factories around in that area. Nonetheless, few years later got out of that and opened my own business, moved from the workshop to web dev, but I can attest that being on the workshop floor was humiliating to say at least. If it weren’t for it to be so shite, I wouldn’t have pushed for my dream job.
