For every job I get, I do my level best to eliminate it. I combine processes, improve efficiencies, eliminate redundancies, increase automation. Every time I do this, instead of getting rid of my job, they give me more work. I get a reputation as a cost cutter and problem solver. About every five years, I hear that automation is going to take my job. I have been hearing that for a quarter of a century. Instead of that, the new technologies make me faster and more efficient. At the same time, clients want more IT and they want it better, faster, and cheaper. I don't see any change to this anywhere in the near future. There is plenty of work for us to do.
This is more often the case than not. There are still a few in management who think the guy who slogs through a 60 hour work week doing everything manually is a hard worker but that mentality is dying out.
