I’ve been thinking about a weird twist of fate to an inevitable outcome. Read on to learn more:
One of the most surprising results of the past couple years is The Great Resignation.
As most of you know, I’m an advocate of pursuing your passions and to never settle for under-employment.
I’ve also been an advocate of implementing robots and automation throughout our society. Which will free up our lifestyles from the mundane daily tasks which do no one any good.
But because of the massive amount of people refusing to flip burgers and clean toilets, businesses are forced to find new ways to accomplish these tasks.
Which, of course, routine tasks can easily be done by robots and/or software.
So back to my surprising realization:
I once thought businesses were going to replace employees with robots, purely from a profit motive.
However, businesses now are scrambling to install robots because they can’t find workers.
tl;dr, We all thought people would lose their jobs to robots, when instead, robots gained jobs because people no longer want the jobs.
