Is your job being AUTOMATED?
I’m just curious how many people have lost their jobs due to automation or robots? If you did, what line of work are you in? I’m a mortgage underwriter and was laid off because it was slow. However, I have lots of friends in the industry laid off due to a new automated system the banks are using. Our jobs are very complex so it’s shocking! I have other friends in different lines of work all telling me their companies laid off because of a new automated system. I feel like we’re being eliminated all at the same time. Just wondering what others experience has been.
Hi Tamara J ,
That's a very interesting topic. There are a ton of people who are being displaced by this kind of automation and AI. I think it's similar to past inventions - technology will continue to make things easier, but at a cost to jobs. But like the past, new industries will pop up around it to support them and create new jobs.
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job because of this. Have you been applying? While I am sure your company automated, there are probably still some who do not. Have you tried using the job search tool here on Jobcase?
