Anyone remembers which short story is this

Unread post

I read this a while back, could be 30 years old, or more. All I somewhat remember is what it's about:

So there is this guy who is hired at a factory to do some lame job. He is bored, invents games to keep things interesting. He soon finds tehre is another guy hired to do the same job. Both of them play cat and mouse games, avoid each other. Try to create some work, to beat boredom. In the end, he loses patience and resigns.

Does it ring a bell, anyone?

Your request reminds me of this book that I've been meaning to read (since I have brief recent experience on an auto-assembly line).
Rivethead: Tales from the Assembly Line by Ben Hamper

You might also try this resource to search for that story.
