Work myself out of a job

My last job was in manufacturing, building semiconductor tools. I had the “honor” of being selected to be a part of revamping the instructions we used to build everything. They said they wanted the instructions to be so clear that a 3rd grader could understand them. Most of us at the time were skilled at reading the engineering diagrams when our instructions failed us. Their end goal was to hire people at lower wages since it required less skill. So to repeat most everyone else in this sub, they don’t care about you. They want to pay you as little as possible. And they are constantly figuring out how.
