At no point was I ever feeling a sense of outrage regarding having a literal 80s-style pager strapped to my body 24&amp;#x2F;7&amp;#x2F;365.&lt;p&gt;A big part of why this didnt bother me was the scale&amp;#x2F;impact of what I was doing - I was responsible for the primary business interface used across the entire factory floor.&lt;p&gt;Once you see a modern fab with your own eyes, it will change you in a deep way. I felt a sense of compassion for this incredibly complex and valuable thing that humanity is just barely able to scrape together. Nothing you see in media can prepare you for the real thing.&lt;p&gt;Definitely not a job for everyone, but its really easy for me to see how a lot of us were able to otherwise deal with the stress.</text><parent_chain><item><author>deepnotderp</author><text>None of this makes sense.&lt;p&gt;1.

So when a company comes from one culture into another another it always has a learning curve. Even when you employ local people helping you to adopt to the local culture. Because you have still managers in the other cultur with their expectations.&lt;p&gt;I learned that also from Daimler&amp;#x2F;Mercedes Benz. When they startet to copy their manufacturing plant from Germany into the USA, they had many quality problems and all kind of problems. Over the years there was a learning curve to adopt to the US work culture. So they still don&amp;#x27;t have only about a 2&amp;#x2F;3 output compared to the very same manufcaturing plants based in Germany.&lt;p&gt;While Asian companies have much higher working culture than Germany, I assume the experience at first is horrible for the Asian managers.</text><parent_chain><item><author>deepnotderp</author><text>None of this makes sense.&lt;p&gt;1.
