In a recent documentary about the vehicle manufacturer Volvo's former CEO Pehr G. Gyllenhammar, I learned that one of the first things he changed in Volvo's working environment as a CEO was to create a healthy working environment that consisted of many different tasks in contrast to too many repetitive tasks, in an effort to avoid boredom and stress related injuries among the workers on the floor.

In this short video, we hear NYU grad student Dejian Zeng, who worked undercover in a Chinese Apple factory located in Shanghai, talk about spending 12 hours a day with the repetitive task of just putting one screw in the iPhone. With all the money that pours into Apple, this working situation is certainly a disgrace.
