I agree with your point that it would be great if proverbial disruption would come with more ideas of how the people in jobs potentially eliminated could get jobs elsewhere. Moving into management or engineering though may be out of the question for many of the current employees in those jobs, as they (by and large) may not have chosen/ended up in those jobs if they were qualified and suitable for management/engineering. The maintenance and potentially manufacturing may be more likely transitioning paths, what do you think?
- EnderMB 8y agoDefinitely, as long as they have the first opportunity to move into these jobs. I suppose the benefit of management is that it can apply outside of their line of work, but general manufacturing can too. The key would be to ensure that anyone that is to lose their job in the future through it being automated by innovative tech be given the opportunity to retrain for a better job. This kind of enforcement means that the job market isn't swamped by mass redundancy, and a consistent time period of retraining for people to re-enter that job market.
