What's your job, and why haven't you hired a team of people from a cheaper country to do your job for less than they're paying you? The non-existence of someone/thing able to do my job isn't why I work at my job.

Me neither. The reason that I'd quit, though, is because if my job can be automated then there's no point in doing it. I don't want to go to work every day knowing that I'm just a meat robot who isn't actually necessary.

I'd rather spend my time doing something that I can bring actual value to.

it's a rather dystopian feeling that we're all just cogs in some sort of a machine, but we need money to eat and rent. I want to have actual meaning but what is it all for?
