Yesterday, I had a conversation with a senior banker in his late forties who shared that he lost his job due to automation and technology. He actually reminded me of Henry Hill. I encouraged him to embrace learning new skills and advised against dwelling on the past.

“That’s the hardest part. Today, everything is different. There’s no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. I can’t even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I’m an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.”

Most deskjobs are easy to automate.

Except in public sector. They just love being inefficient and paying inflated salaries to paper pushing bitches.

It's low-key welfare. Keeps unemployment down and spending up.

Most of them are spoiled beyond belief and think updating skills means obtaining ITIL certificates or some other bullshit certificates from similar rent seeking organizations.

I was in banks as an external for 12 years, most of the internals are asleep at the wheel and drinking their salaries away, and ignoring all new concepts, ideas and technologies.

Few escape the comfort trap.
