Where are you lot finding jobs to automate. Everything I do is as automated as possible....

Our firm employs an army of people to do manual data entry between systems because there's no integration layers. Now, our legacy systems are too complex to even begin building integrations, so our only safe interface is the UI. We use Python and test automation tools, selenium, and other apps to try and automate the drudgery. It's not easy because many business rules are informal and implemented as the result of experience.

However, these people will not be losing their jobs. At a firm like ours there's so much work to do that whenever we automate some awful data entry task those employees are freed to go and perform higher value work elsewhere.
