spdrun Bye-bye 80-90% of those office white collar jobs
If it wasn’t clear I meant 80-90% of those jobs, not the entire departments. Many of those I’ve listed I’ve already done the beginning steps of the automation roll-outs that trimmed their staffs.
Accounting? Expense report receipts? You’re kidding, credit card integrated automated expense tracking and reporting through software. If you can’t enter your one-off receipts, your department admin maybe will help you if you’re a good producer, otherwise your manager’s manager is telling them to tell you to pull your head out of your *ss.
HR? Employee self service portals, automated background checks, automated hiring screening that frankly does a better job than any but the most specialized HR recruiter.
And we could talk about the fact the 5 person HR system development team that did all the software updates and stuff is bye-bye replaced by an 3rd party provider, the provider had couple hundred customers our size and basically all of them cut their HRiS development staff, the 3rd party company was like 500 people in total, management, sales, every body.
Right now all those people rolled around and went to the growth field in app development for and internet but IMO, there is massive levels of redundancy being built.
Seriously:
Letgo, Wallapop, Craigslist/Pro, Ebay, Carosell, Decluttr, VarageSale, not to mention Amazon, Ebay and Facebook.
Consolidation is coming. Self service is here. It’s about relationships going forward and 80-90% of todays white collar ‘grunt’ work jobs are all going bye-bye.
