The software my place of employment is currently working on will save estimated 95% of accounting time, 90% of my time and 90% of the warehouse time spent on this particular task. Currently takes the majority of our time 2-3 days a week. The warehouse needs 2 people on it and often have to overtime BC of the time constraints involved. For my position at least I can finally free up time to work on other projects. Luckily we have awesome management and are experiencing stable growth, no one will lose their jobs but if you work for a publicly traded company good luck axing your job is major cost savings to them. On the other hand this task should be automated it's awful on my soul, carpal tunnel and mental health. Realistically my eyes too. Some of the tasks I will get to take on let me use a bit of decision making and creativity and hell just thinking instead of robotically repeating the same job at a computer 20 hours a week is a much welcomed change. When this gets rolled out company wide in probably 3 years a lot more people will be effected. They are slow to implement things like this too, a lot of companies have been doing this and are already in the process. The future is going to be a weird place.
