2 words: Soul-destroying.

These people probably cry themselves to sleep at night so we can pull more performance out of our parts.

Good to see Adam Smith's division of labour principles at work in the modern economy!

Imagining sticking the same single component on thousands of boards all day, everyday...

Living in Redditch I was extremely satisfied for an Asian manufacturer recognising the quality of a German engineered CNC machine center which is built approx 3 miles from my home - I refer to the Heller Machine.

Also - Silk screen work is old hat now - but for low volume (relatively speaking) printing it still has a place.

That place is no different to any other manufacturing job, if anything it's more 'exciting' - sometimes the boards are different colours and the occasional cooler innovation means it's probably more varied than a lot of other jobs in that region.
