Ah I understand.
I’m not talking about that either, and I’m not against automating jobs. I’m more talking about preventing unecessary harm, I don’t really want to say who I work for but our company will shutdown entire storefronts and just lie about why. The union works to ensure this sort of thing doesn’t happen unfairly, and that people have access to the legal support they need when it does, among other things.
The reality is that they aren’t working bullshit jobs, and we don’t automate everything they do. Even the things we do automate require their constant help to support, but the business doesn’t care and will just fire them because they see some vague report suggesting they can.
Creating jobs is much harder, of course, but there are things we can and should do to make sure transitioning people out of those jobs is as painless as possible. I’m honestly of the opinion that we shouldn’t have to have jobs to survive, and that pushing for good social support is a necessary part of increasing automation.
As a loosely related aside, even though my job doesn’t qualify for being bullshit, I definitely feel like I’m wasting my life doing it, but I have no other choice except dying.
I get what you mean. That’s totally fair enough.
I’m lucky enough to work for a mid sized family business. So good wages without the corporate bullshit.
I actually left a higher paying corporate job for better work/life balance and I am a lot happier.
I get that not everyone is in a position to do that.
