“It’s not unusual, except that Manna is telling you exactly what to do every second of every day. If it asks you to go to the back and get merchandise, it tells you exactly where to walk to go get it. And here is the weirdest part — I never see another employee the entire day. The way it makes me walk, I never run into anyone else. I can go for a full shift and never see another employee. Even our breaks are staggered. Everyone takes their breaks alone. We all arrive at staggered times. It’s like Manna is trying to totally eliminate human interaction on the job.”

All described in prescient classic: https://marshallbrain.com/manna1

this sounds like my personal nirvana no human contact but able to exist maybe the buddhists were right nirvana exists...

  • It wasn't "no human contact", it was "no contact with other employees/coworkers". Big difference.

    • restaurants/pickup you can just walk in with headphones wave and show phone customers usually want stuff left at door

      no workplace cliques, meetings a win is a win. when I pray to the poofy guy in the sky I thank him for creating the humans that created this
