I think the best people for jobs like this are those that just want supplemental income. Teenagers, College Kids, Part-time or temp workers.

- _rpd 9y agoI think it is pretty clear that we should automate box packing as soon as possible. It is a waste of human talent to have people doing this.
- s73ver_ 9y agoThe problem is, those people need to have jobs.
- _rpd 9y agoEven moving them to quality control or edge case handling is a win. No one is going to miss box packing.
- s73ver_ 9y agoIt's only a win if they don't get laid off or have their paychecks cut. And I'm pretty sure that the people who do it for their job, if they aren't able to find another one, would miss it. Automation can be good, but we can't forget that these are actual people, with rent payments, food bills, and possibly families, that are currently doing these jobs. Blindly following the "Automation is great" mantra, while forgetting about them, is going to be disastrous.
