- I understand fear of change can be a symptom of anxiety, and I've certainly experienced this myself: I've repeatedly found myself wedged into awkward situations that aren't within my ballpark to un-awkward, and found that this can produce a "just keep going, just keep going" mentality that's negatively hypersensitive to any kind of change - I can see clerk-type positions being heavily dunked in the "we are invisible to the ergonomic considerations of the software upgrade lifecycle" koolaid, and (perhaps not having a balanced/passively-positive general appreciation of software development in abstract) can only see introducing software from the standpoint of "yet another unsolicited burden of workload I have to add to my plate" as opposed to an empathetic load-bearing fulcrum. I wonder if the distain is coming from simple insecurity, or a more complex broken sense of achievement/self-hazing, where having a given task be simplified or automated or otherwise made nicer is seen somehow "doing it wrong" (eg, the equivalent of writing garbage code to solve a problem as opposed to spending 2 weeks figuring out how to solve something "correctly" etc).
