Crazy. As someone whose job it is to automate, automating my job means getting more work. That’s kind of the definition of being more productive: by focusing on automation one person could do work that formerly took multiple people
If your employers are willing to pay you more for the extra work you're getting done through automation, go for it. If your employers are going to fire your colleagues, make you do their work, then pocket the profit - keep your improvements to yourself and read a book
Tired that. Still got more work. Eventually I had a 3 day process down to half an hour, since the actual process was super inefficient. The company was restructuring and my coworkers were trying to avoid having their jobs automated. It all resolved by outsourcing, which was funny because the tasks only required 5-6 people, had 18 originally, and was called a win for being 'global'.
