Yes, this is completely unrealistic. No tenured IT professional is just going to announce that they've doubled workflow efficiency overnight. They'll slow play the improvements until it becomes absolutely necessary to reveal them, and then act like they've been putting in extra work when in reality they've been spending 6 hours a day writing new Quake 3 mods.
As they should. These people don't care about us.
No sometimes the bosses are told, because rather than having someone sit on nights for 2+ weeks doing tedious shit in production, a worker/dev/whatever would rather say "I think I might a solution that can automate this". I've done it, seen it happen, collected attaboys, moved on to the next problem that's screaming for a better solution, etc
But Of course I do agree with you completely, if you automate your tasks, better to keep that on the downlow for your own mental wellness :)
