Tbf, David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs is a good starter book for such a topic, but it doesn't really have the hands on thing of how generally underworked you can feel in a factory once you get used to the repetition. Like, you are exhausted at the end of the day, but you look back and realize you didn't actually do a whole hell of a lot. I mean, you made alot of product but the job that you yourself did was such a small facit of the mechanism of production you don't feel like you accomplished anything. Like, due to Marxism, we know that economically speaking, we are alienated from the value of our labor, but that alienation takes an emotional toll as well, sowing discord and contempt for yourself and your fellow worker, which leads to all kinds of mental disorders that society struggles to deal with. In such an environment, the most rational way to deal with it is to isolate yourself from others in order to not have to deal with both their and your own neuroses that have developed because of american industrial capital.

The most common complaints I hear (and find myself making) are about the 'r**ards' further up the line (which is a couple hour long production process) with the management being a close second, but that dynamic can change depending on line size and constitution. That affects the whole cultural output and attitude. Like metal work is culturally different than industrial food prep, despite being incredibly similar processes.
