I've been working in manufacturing my whole adult life. This year after burning out and losing a job I tried looking for a different career path. My one rule was “no factories/plants” I ended up landing a great paying job in a tech company and for the first time in my adult life Im being treated like a human being with a life outside of work!
Just an example, my wife was sick on our second month and I decided to try and work from home to take care of the kids. Not only did my boss approve but showed genuine concern.
Get out of the factories. No plant will ever treat you like a human being and anyone aspiring to management roles will have their human empathy stamped out of them ( I started as an assembler and worked my way up to engineer manager. Was not a human at any point and was pressured to treat others the same. This the burnout and hate for the industry)
