Reminds me of my first job out of college as a data analyst. At least 60% of the work was extremely repetitive spreadsheet work and emails. Wrote some macros and automation scripts to do almost all of it in ~3 minutes instead of 4 hours and spent the saved time doing more interesting things that led to my next job. In my case, however, I sufficiently automated the job that they didn't replace me when I left. I got a call ~4 years later because one of the macros broke when they finally updated Excel. Fixed it for a small fee, and to my knowledge they're still using it today.
