Omg, working on the lasagna assembly line looks soul-crushing.

[@anirbanmukherjee5240]

It’s not. I worked in an assembly line and when it’s properly staffed, it doesn’t hurt the soul at all. You do your time, leave, and live your life. It doesn’t define you. What is soup crushing is when shit goes wrong and you have a stupid manager. I was accused of stealing. I did not steal. I left the line because that accusation was soul crushing. Being frisked in front of my friends when nothing was taken (and nothing was found on me) hurt. And here is the kicker - I was accused of stealing an apple. One apple. Not money or parts. One apple in a food processing facility.

[@hopejean1152]

Right? Like I wouldn't want to take their jobs away but there's no way this wouldn't be more efficient with more machinery

[@sooperkula]

It's obviously because machines need things to be standardised and predictable to work well - the sheets of lasagna would be difficult to work with (slippery and uneven - you can see some sheets are broken). Here, there would be no point in having a specialised machine, since you'd still need people to put things in the tray slowing the process down.

[@Coolness101237]

they might still want to keep the human element in the process

[@JasminUwU]

@@joshuarodriguez8922 that's not how businesses work

[@lucidzfl]

if you watch the ladies putting in the pasta strips - you can see that they are only about 50% of the time full, the rest of the time - theyre having to play puzzle games and put in 2 strips or whatever matches the size of the hole. Plus - picking up wet sheets of pasta requires a very delicate touch. The cost - right now - to visually automate how to piece together broken pasta, and then grip it successfully, lay it down right, all without breaking it, in under 2 seconds, is a HUGE ask of an automation process. But like the person below says - if costs of labor keep rising, someone will figure it out.

[@TheCheat_1337]

@@JasminUwU Wrong. Companies are always trying to make MORE money. They're not stopping investment in automation out of the kindness of their hearts, all companies want to decrease labor costs and increase profits. It has never been the opposite. Increasing minimum wage is a very good stopgap measure to make sure that workers are better compensated in the meantime.

Calling that thing lasagna is an insult in all front. They make bechamel with rice flour and add cheese, they use mozzarella and not Parmigiano or Grana padano. If you are a factory you can even use parmesan... Even adding pizza crumbs on top is not what we make, thats have another name: pasta gratinata.

Your comment makes no sense. You don't know the batch size of the sauces, and therefore don't know the sodium percentage. For the uninitiated, sodium is not the preservative in this case, it it for flavour. Sodium + oil + carbs equals flavour. Sodium content is mostly consumer driven, ie. low sodium = poor sales.
