my internal investigation has discovered that logistics is fucking gay and sucks balls
drwhat posted:i only know the vague layman sense of the word logistics and from googling around a bit it seems like 99% impenetrable corporate garbage, and i have a pretty high ability to decipher that usually. and i assume you don't just mean air mail delivery scheduling. what the hell actually is logistics in the way you are using it
moving box
anyways, i left that and now i'm in construction, which is vastly different. i've gotten hassled a bit about working slow, but i'm only an apprentice so i don't let it bother me too much. it's odd because you get assigned a job, and then you just have to make sure you don't take too long doing it. the foreman doesn't come around very often, so you kind of have to self motivate yourself to go quick. i was trying to radicalise the other day and not having any luck, because its actually an industry where you can make pretty good money, and your skills (when you're skilled) give you the ability to just switch jobs site or businesses if you don't like your foreman or whatever. i've thought more though, and i think a good angle of attack with be focusing on how we get taxed so much, not having much say in where it goes, and the super-rich don't get taxed too much.
i read the anarchist polemic from france, and its main point is that industry is extremely focused on just-in-time delivery, so attacks focused on logistics will have a tremendous knock-on effect.
obviously the main benefit of just-in-time delivery is limited the amount of warehouse space needed, but a paranoid part of me always thinks that it prevents worker seized factories from being effective as they'd run out of materials so quickly, and they wouldn't have the connections to get more (and of course, other companies would close ranks and refuse to do business with them). but i admit that's paranoid since i'm relatively sure that the political climate where i'm based isn't particularly worried about workers seizing industries since class consciousness is so low.

kitchens work in a similar way, except the pay is worse
edit: to expand, i think in both cases there's frequently an "ownership fantasy" in play which puts off workers from organising. this is combined with labour being organised in such a way that if you're any good, you will relatively rapidly be promoted into positions where you have disciplinary power over other workers (like, if you want, you could be a head chef easily within ten years of starting out, with the power to employ or sack people)

This is aided and abetted by every single cooking show, where the protagonists are restauranteurs. Their background is always 'i started in the dish pit, now I have restaurants in 5 countries'.
Does anyone remember which Bromma piece has the part about ship builders for the US Carriers?

gorbon ransay episodes where its a clueless middleclass couple who really wanted to own a restaurant, they spend most of their time drinking in the bar and have a freeezer full of frozen meat. gorbon says wow a hundred times and is super nice to the servers

thank you. i now have a better appreciation of international move box in the context of rhizzone.

its cool because no one who says that has ever worked a repetitive job in their life
