I can think of few office work ideas more nightmarish than the already bureaucratically cold, inhuman-acting systems of HR in most companies, which treat human beings like nothing more than arbitrary "resources", being replaced by literally inhuman systems that do the same even more brainlessly and rigidly. It's like the Google algorithms for account problems, but for the physical world. Grotesque.
- mistrial9 3y agoyou are clearly sensitive with empathy, so I dislike this next one.. it is much worse than that. There are "industries" that make prey on people explicitly, unlike the cold-but-lawful HR systems you deride. Quickly moving on people in weak positions, checking credentials constantly to enforce payment, catching people in minor law enforcement via machine, and automated violations against renters in remotely managed property, are a few examples that come to mind right away; and THAT is in the USA where there are protections.

- screwturner68 3y agoThat's because to the company we are nothing but interchangeable resources. We are the human equivalent of a 2X4 or ton of coal, something you buy and then use up. More importantly is that there is no difference between 2X4 one and 2X4 one thousand and one, we are replaceable and interchangeable and one is no more valuable than the other.
