Workers in a capitalist society are typically obliged to perform only a few limited and routine operations, they rarely build the whole item nor see the final product, work is often boring, workers have no say in what happens to the product because it is not their property, they do not own their tools, they have no say in the planning or organisation of work, they just do what they are told, they must work within strict rules, especially regarding time, under conditions of intense division of labour.
