It's mostly a tongue-in-cheek comment there at the end. Of course specialist consultants are appropriate in some cases. I do like the "automating the gig out of existence" approach.
- scarface74 4y agoNot just automating - training. If you make yourself irreplaceable, you also can’t be promoted or transferred to new projects. It also doesn’t look good when you get ready to talk about your achievements. Some people thought it was heartless when Netflix laid off some of their employees who were responsible for the original migration to AWS once it was complete. They don’t seem to realize how good it looks on your resume or at an interview to say “I was on a team in charge of the largest cloud migration in history and once it was successful. They didn’t need me.”
- rdtwo 4y agoYeah it sounds good but you are still moving, wasting time interviewing and currently unemployed
- scarface74 4y agoHave you heard about Netflix’s severance package? I have personal experience successfully interviewing at a major cloud provider in the consulting department. That hypothetical former Netflix employee would have no problem finding a job quickly making a lot more than I make doing similar work at the same company.
