[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read something awhile ago that said the reason many of us find life so stressful now is that in previous generations at some point you developed expertise in your field and it felt relaxing cuz you could do a significant part of it daily on auto pilot. You felt competent and relaxed but now those parts of your job get automatic so you spend all day every day doing only the difficult fiddley bits of your job. All exceptions and tricks all the time. Felt about right[/quote]

Yep. When email was still the main communication at work, I would spend about 2 hours on a Friday kind of zoning out closing the loop on things, filing email away. I also had a notepad up and as a though occurred to me as I saw the weeks communication on my work in one place at one time I jotted it down. Organized the thoughts, set up meetings and priorities for the upcoming week. The best thing to come out of those two hours was not a clean in box but the time to decompress from the pace and kind of low key brainstorm. Lots of good stuff about TEAMS, Jira, etc. to keep track of things w/out email, but I miss that time.[/quote]

Right. Work now is a lot more intense because so many tasks are automated. The jobs that are most likely to be replaced are lower level work done by administrative roles. Where I work we already have ZERO admin support, which is terrible. Admins provide a lot of benefit beyond correcting document format and routing but that’s all people see so they’re likely to just replace that work, leaving only high level jobs that require higher levels of education to perform. That results in exacerbating class issues. We should be cautious of this because if we rely too much on the bot we will stop double checking and end up with widely accepted incorrect information.
