Higher-income people are worried about the economy

I run a big division of a big org.

Given the desire and investment in project/process, we could probably take half of the $100k+ workforce and replace with automation and a dumber, cheaper workforce. Economic crises often drive those decisions.

High income people are the least safe - $300k doctors are being treated like factory workers and replaced by $125k nurse practitioners.

That's basically what i'm doing. I was at first automating a secretary's job, now i'm automating my "SRE and security manager" job. With some resistance, so i'm starting with the most boring part of his job, but my goal is to automate him away. It's my secret, secondary job description. I hope i do that within a year.

Does this seem messed up to anyone else ? Yes it’s an inevitability and it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before but damn
