Inefficiency complaints
I work for a unionized company. I have a fairly well-paid position as a finance professional. I have always had the motivation to go above and beyond when asked to help even if it meant I was delayed in my daily tasks. I don't count my hours. Well, I just found out that many of my fellow professionals have files with several “inefficiency” complaints in their name and even that is not enough to get them fired!

As time goes on we will approach the maximum number of jobs being replaced by automation just like how a limit works in mathematics. I firmly believe left -leaning politics needs to progress faster than this technology, because there can only be two distinct outcomes. The first one is if anti-work politics progresses faster than technology. Imagine most of the work the world does is automated. The land and automation could be owned by a just sovereign nation that…
