Lick my rusty, greasy taint, amazon, and since catharsis is so cheap: damn the horse you rode in on, too.
JillyB ( @JillyB@beehaw.org ) English2•3 months agoI used to work in an automotive plant. The automation generally isn’t to reduce headcount. It’s to increase capacity. The existing employees can be used more efficiently. I’m sure it’s been used to reduce head count but I’d wager that it’s rare.

People steal jobs using robots and then tell you robots aren’t stealing your job.
