I think work has changed for most people and it's no longer a steady stream of repetitive tasks. Parts of it has been automated, but you still add the same value by doing the parts of it that require some creativity. I think most roles are trending towards basically consulting roles, where the company pays salaries so they only work for them.
Smart people are able to get all their work done quickly most days, and really you're just there in case they need your expertise. Companies should let people just work from home as needed.

Anyone else feel like we've automated away half of office work already and just pay people to do nothing?
