I’m a welder and I’ve worked in automated welding shops. The robots constantly fucked up so guys like me were on site to fix what the bot couldn’t do. If parts started coming out wrong or unfinished, they’d stop the line, make adjustments, and run her again until things started to go sideways. Meanwhile me and a few other guys would fix what was wrong with the parts and the company would lose less money.
