NOKIA
Uh, I was in a Nokia plant once. There were tons of production machines (Siemens) shitting out phones from themselves. Tons of plasma displays also, with stuff like that:
Phones produced this week: 634 000 (53 %)
Target for this week: 1 100 000
Failed units: 1200 (5.3 %)
The numbers were constantly changing. At 6 or 8 or 10 o'clock there was a shift. A loudspeaker said: "Good night for the people going home, and welcome to the people in the nightshift."
Seriously, it reminded me of the Matrix movies, where the most important thing is that the machines are operating, the humans are serving the machines. It was surrealistic, there is never night, night looks exactly as the day, because of the constant lighting.
And we were checked at the exit, there was a metal detector so sensitive that even metal transplants makes it beep.
I work for a company, doing IT. It is stressful sometimes, but it's pretty good most of the time.
