omfg i'm jealous. talk about a dream job

Uh, haha, do you know how much PRESSURE these guys are on? Sure, it may sound all glamourous and all but Ferrari expects nothing short of 180% from them all the time.

id give 200% for that job lol...
nah i know what you mean, and you're right. it would still be flippin amazing to work in a ferrari factory though.

My job pays more and i dont have to be standing around all the time.

what car enthusiast would not want to work there?

I'd have a day-long woody if I was working there.

A Porsche enthusiast?

I don't know Mitlov, even if i were a huge Porsche enthusiast, I'd still kill for a job like that...

I'd venture to say that most Porsche enthusiasts are big enough car enthusiasts in general that they wouldn't turn down a Ferrari factory position...

Personally I think the job would suck. Unless there are huge employee discount programmes in effect (and when Ferrari has pre sold every 430 until 2078 I don't see how there coule be) Im sure you would go home every night in your Fiat Panda, or if your lucky your Brera, after working with some of the most beautiful cars of all time.

It would be torture.

lol its obvious you guys have never worked in a factory. It would be cool to build Ferraris but seriously jobs like that suck no matter what you are building. I worked at American Honda for about 6 months (Marysville plant, built the Accord model) and I also worked at Cardington Yutaka (Makes Parts for most model Hondas i.e. Tourque converters, exahust manifolds, etc.). The benefits of working in factorys are usually pretty good to work is repetitive, hard, and boring as fuck. You do the same thing all day, usually 6 says a week. It is so repetitive that a good percentage of factory workers aquire some kind of tendonitis in there elbows and wrists. My father is off on permanent disability because of it. There is a certain number of cars you are expected to produce for your shift, if you dont make that number you will be working on either Saturday or Sunday.

you're totally right, i've never once worked in a factory, and i'm honestly sorry your experience was poor and your father's condition is not good, but if you read the article from the link...



I'd sign up for that.

The people at Honda were great, from the highest management to the lowest on the totem pole. American Honda was rated as one of the top ten places to work in Ohio. Often factory jobs ARE the best jobs around which is why so many people work them. Factory jobs weather they are at ferrari or some cheap chinese company are nothing more than a middle class working mans job, usually with good benefits. My experience at Honda was not bad because you learn a lot working at a job like that. You learn a lot about engineering, people, and the way people produce things in factories so fast and usually with top notch quality is purely amazing but it only takes so long to realize that it is not somthing you can do for the rest of your life.

Sure, you always see a lot of guys that retire from a factory but at their age when they started at a factory there werent the opportunities like there are now. Most people could not go to college so they were stuck there so they could support a family. I think you will see that most factory work, even high end ones like the Ferrari one will be run mostly by robots because humans cannot keep up with them.

You guys are all complete idiots. Sure there are jobs that pay more and jobs that are easier and less demanding. But reading that article, you get the sense that the employees dont give a shit. They have a love of automobiles, especially Ferrari's, which drives them to do their best every single day to build machines of beauty.

To have a job you enjoy going to every day and are in no rush to leave is more important than how big your paycheck is in my mind. All the money in the world isnt worth going to work 40 hours a week doing something you absolutely HATE.

no fucking shit thats why I am a firefighter and if were all complete idiots is that why you work at a fucking ebay store? Does your job drive you every single day to post the best goddamn ebay listing there is?

Ahahahahaha.... that was good.

Yeah they are cool people though. There were quite a few Ferrari Techs when we were eating lunch in Marenello. They wear those red suits with pride. Heck that whole town is red, EVERYTHING is Ferrari. talk about a company town.

I wonder what the receptionist looks like at the Ferrari factory. I'm sure she is smoking hot.

What the fuck are you bitching about? gg i hit a fuse with mr. fire figher hero guy and i dont even understand wtf hes bitching about o_O

You called everyone complete idiots for no real reason. You say you would rather have a job that is rewarding than earns a big paycheck, is that what you are doing at an ebay store?


That and it was 5am and I was at work, I could have meant a whole bunch of things but its really hard to tell at the time in the morning.

It's just Cyclone.


You have to understand.... that he has the biggest bone ever to pick up with society at large.
