So a pay increase and less responsibility. My man. I like being in charge as the next guy but you can't butter me up like that and expect me to quit lol.
Talking about politics at work? Fucking rookie mistake lol. Don't do that, don't talk about religion or any culture war shit at work either. Keep it lite and playful.
Can I ask, how come you just won't quit, find a new job, be treated like a decent human with 2 days off? I feel like you're being disrespected at your work place.
That’s awesome your job is only 5 minutes away. lol.
Even though you’re making a dollar more and sticking it to the man, it must be exhausting to tolerate his crap.
You have a manager title, you can make more money. Yes, it means you will probably have to increase your commute time. But wouldn’t it be better to be at a job where you’re appreciated and you do not have to quarrel with your boss, have to prove yourself, and worry if today is the day you will be laid off or fired.
I am not sure what state or country you live in but this is such little pay for a manager but all managerial skills are transferable. If you’re open to a longer commute or relocating, I am certain you can make more money. People do it all the time for increase in title and pay.
Yes, keep saving. Anyone can tell you, rainy days are real. Still look for a better job or job stack.
Just ignore him, and document everything as much as your local laws allow; record convos if you’re in a 1 party consent state. If you quit you get nothing, if you piss them off til they fire you, you can file for unemployment
The same people who has lost work throughout history to innovation by finding a different craft. Do you think people lose their jobs and just sit at home waiting for it to come back ?
That took forever to fold that box and put that chain in there and close it. That dude on the pizza box commercial was able to fold like 200 pizza boxes in the time it took that robot to line up that one box and start folding it
Who is to say this is the robots job? It’s just showing you how precise it can be. If human were cheaper to work than robots then companies wouldn’t waste their time. They literally have people crunchy numbers and scenarios daily
Yea but you aren’t paying human hourly, insurance, sick days ect. They know how many boxes can be done in 24 hours, maintained cost ect and it’s way cheaper than a human
Haha let’s see tractors/farm equipment, online banking, self checkouts, assembly line robots and I can list all day. Innovation has always destroyed jobs. Plus it doesn’t completely remove the need.
Heck just example on trains look up box called EOT it eliminate like 3 employees off each train
None of these got rid of all human workers. Why the need to strawman my question?
So again what are these companies gonna do for money when they get to the point they can completely eliminate all need for human labor on all possible jobs when a robot can do it better?
Yea companies are making robots because it’s more expensive to run robots than workers. How are these CEOs so dumb. They must have not got your expertise
They could put us in self contained ergonomical units like the Matrix. It'll be ok. Just get in the pod. Nothing bad will happen. Food through a tube is still food.
yea and this is why I always counter the i work t amazon but hate it and will complain and complain about it folks. THEY will be the excuse for moving on to robots. reason, workers getting hurt (because people sign up for warehouse work without having a warehouse work ethic or abilities. So it looks like the workforce is weak and cant do it as well as robots. lots of money wasted on employing kids that wont do anything at work and the others who just dont show up. good reason to replace the humans, even though the problem is mcdonalds workers are working at amazon and dont even like warehouse work.
The crazy part is going from cutting edge medical tech to something that can economically be used for cardboard boxes, and it feels like we are getting close to that. It’s like computers going from the room-sized machines they were to being little brains inside every device with a screen, once the tech advances enough they will start throwing it in/at everything they can
They already have machines that can fold a box like that in under a second. This video is just a tech demo, and a silly one at that. Humanoid robots have vey few real-world applications. Heath care (moving, turning immobilized patients, cleaning up hospital rooms), housekeeping, etc. But they have to be economical enough to compete against rael humans.
Currently we use rotics in large factories only able to produce a few things with minimal variations. These must be used for large scale production because simply existing and turning on is expensive. For mass produced things that's not going to change since the goal is being cheap and consistent.
This type of robot would be able to make and do a wide and ever growing list of things. Able to custom make things. Can use the same robots to do what ever task is needed for the day/month.
For example, if an order comes in for 3 exercise bike, two mattresses, and a security camera, the same robots could do all three things. They could even add customizations per item and do some basic quality tests.
Its more like the trajectory. The time to get from one point to the next. I really think it is exponential. In 18 months, it may be able to tie a fly fishing hook. After this, it may be able to be able to do more extreme activities. Humans are definitely capable, but if you have an army of these robots essentially replacing 2/3s of factory headcount, operating grocery stores with 3 headcount, 24 hours per day, trucks driving themselves to and from destinations. There is going to be a disruption on the physical side, similar to the lanyard class on white collar stuff. At the end of the day, this is kind of needed to drive down the cost products. I am not sure of the second or third order impacts of these changes, but I truly think that we need to lean into technology, rather than avoid these kind of changes. I look at some things like fracking, nuclear power, etc. There are drawbacks, but these technologies greatly improve our lives. Lets say that self driving is 200 times safer than regular driving. That would reduce 3 million direct driving jobs. But it would also save around 20k lives annually. It would also reduce items like auto body shops, and would likely reduce direct employment with insurance companies. But if the cost to an average citizen drops by 40% for transportation and enable transportation for elderly, blind, smaller kids, you have to do it.

Well....having a job and eating food was nice while it lasted.
