All because of this brand new thing called...outsourcing. Which is completely new and not currently done at all.
God forbid we have some work/life balance in North America. People are obsessed with work and appeasing to their superiors.

I'm less worried about outsourcing to cheaper labour and going straight to AI/ML at this point. That is what will put a lot of us white collar folks out of work at some point. I work in finance and all of our processes and reporting could easily be done with properly implemented AI. We could probably go from 50 people to a handful who just monitor and sign off on results from the AI systems.
I actually do digital transformation and work on a lot of process optimization so that people are not spending so much time on manual processes and can focus on things that actually improved our operations and it is very interesting to hear initial reactions when I start asking about workflows and I tell them that I am looking to automate various tasks. Many times they think I am coming to take away their job.
