I can’t think of anything more demoralizing than working in an office cubicle. Talk about sucking the soul out of a person.
I worked in a manufacturing plant all of my life. Granted most of my working career was as a manager. I hated the paper side of the position. Calculating labor rates for new products was the worst. The best part of my job was walking through the plant with no agenda. Talking with the employees about their families, sports, politics, religion, local events, whatever. We even talked about the company, and it wasn’t always good.
I would never made it in a full-time office setting.
