Anecdotal example, when I was an intern at a small company my boss asked me to do this more or less basic script that would take an excel and do a bunch of stuff with its data. It was not difficult, basically a few hours to get an MVP running, he was VERY happy. A few days later, one of the girls working there explained to me that she was very scared for her job as she thinks the boss would like to automate it. Needless to say I didn't go through with it.
