Absolutely. But for some reason, capitalism hates if workers are happy, so you have to press them harder and harder.
These jobs you're describing are becoming rarer, and not only in manufacturing. I'm a software developer office drone and I'm financially very well off and have pretty good working conditions, but my work is mostly meaningless, if I'm honest. Not that the product I'm building is useless, far from it, but there's so much that removes me from actually feeling valuable, that I might as well just dig a hole and fill it up again.
Alienation real for sure, I have to fight that my job all the time. One for me is all of pencil pushing signature block owners I have to talk to. Like I hate to say it, but theres gotta be a better use of both our time then them being road blocks on peoples paths to production.
