    You can bet your tushy that whichever middle-manager came up with the idea of spending all that money to reduce reliance on human workers, has already picked up a hefty bonus, used a golden parachute, and is now scamming their way through another giant corporate to repeat the same shit with a different idiotic idea.

        Nah, the top (C-suite) rarely has original ideas. Their job isn’t to innovate or improve but to maintain the status quo. And they wouldn’t risk their position with an idea that can backfire so easily.

        No, that’s reserved to the middle managers who have something to strive for - more money, more influence etc.

          Since when is automating jobs an original idea? Middle managers absolutely don’t make decisions this big. Some bigwig heard about it from one of his buddies and announced a “transformation” a couple days later.
