factory work vs warehouse work

[danyboy27]

I have been working in a warehouse for a while now, but i am just freaking bored to death with it, plus my boss really suck ass, so i have been looking for something else.

I found an ads about a factory looking for a metal press operator, no real skill needed for the job and its relatively well paid, plus its next to my appartement.

i am sortof used to do repetitive work, and the prospect of finally creating something, even if its only hinge or doorknobt sound more rewarding than invoicing fucking computer part.

Should i take the job, or not?

Slightly better, 1 more dollar an hour.

I think eventually you'll grow to hate factory work as well being that it's mind numbingly dull, hot, smelly and occasionally dangerous. But if all you're after is a change of scenery as it were, by all means do it. Hell, they might even have a union you can flex your entryist muscles in, lol.

If you hate warehouse work for boredom you should try a call centre (not really).

I would do crazy shit to get another 'warehouse' job. Just moving stuff around and not having to deal with dozy, ignorant disrespectful callers.

I worked in both. Like warehouses better, even grew to like my current job (which is also in a warehouse). I guess it just depends on coleagues and the kind of warehouse. The same cant be said about a factory, since you barely have contact with colleagues there.
Edit: tho metal press operator sounds pretty cool admittedly.

To change job actually little depressing, we have to give perfect CV, nice presentation, nice personality, and answer questions and boss deicide do we good for job or not.

I would do crazy shit to get another 'warehouse' job. Just moving stuff around and not having to deal with dozy, ignorant disrespectful callers. I worked as a "volunteer" (after having been given the choice between "volunteering" or having my dole stopped) at this place which was a warehouse shop/charity. My job was to, depending on who else was there and the whims of the managers (one of whom was quite predictably a total cock. The other two were just normal manager level of wanker): sit at the phone/till dealing with customers face-to-face or on the phone, some of whom could be total cretins, or lug all sorts of heavy shit about the place. It was like a shit sandwhich of the worst aspects of both jobs but if given the choice I'd be all up for doing nothing but heavy lifting, dealing with the public is a total fuckfest.
