You were likely happy to be automating other people out of a job, now it's happening to you. This is the creative destruction that is critical to a healthy and prosperous economy.


You can enjoy automating tasks and not be destroying others. At my job I’ve been the main person automating tasks which has allowed us to be more accurate and more efficient and grow headcount by 50 percent for the team. You could argue we’d have grown more but the entire company has had 20 percent layoffs since I joined so I would push back on that.
