Bullshit, i have a friend that worked as a machinist setup and operator at SpaceX, he said it was an awesome work environment, he had a blanket line item PO approval for tooling and machinery of 100k, meaning if he needed ANYTHING that cost less than 100k he could PO it himself. Anything they needed to meet deadlines, he would call HAAS and say "I need another VF4" and it would be delivered the next day, no need to get approval from the bean counters or anything.

They expected excellence from their employees, and gave them the responsibilities and pay to match it, Incredibly fast pace and high accuracy work, It's for the best of the best in their fields, not lazy people.

He ended up parlaying that "mid-entry level" job into running the complete production environment for a military aerospace company where his insane attention to speed and detail nearly tripled their production rate, they went from running 5 days a week 2 and sometimes 3 shifts, to a single shift of 4 10s, with everyone getting friday off.

No protection of slackers and do nothings... sound like a great place to work.
