I can't think of better jobs to automate than middle management. They cost inordinate amounts of money compared to rank and file workers, and they usually don't produce jack shit. They're glorified taskmasters sans whip.

Tbh, my boss does work, even more than i do and i do overtime everyday (its paid in money or free days so its cool) and his boss is the company owner that is pretty much working 24/7 or at least at disposal every day every hour.

I don't think AI can replace such people, especially because we work with sensitive data.

Well, that just means your boss and his boss aren't just glorified zoo keepers and actually contribute something to the bottom line.

Many of them don't, however. My very own superior definitely falls in the same category as yours. He's someone who leads by example and isn't afraid to get "down in the trenches", so to speak, so he has my utmost respect.

I've never had a boss who doesn't work more than I do. This is one of the reasons I have no desire to move into management.
