I compiled a list of things I find annoying or useless about my job that I want a scientist bot to do/fix for me in another thread. See below:
* Planning my own travel, purchasing all my own tickets and lodging and having no help to do any of that
* Sitting in meetings with colleagues who are explaining to me why it's ok that the interns aren't getting paid because they are going to give them visa gift cards instead
* Editorialmanager.com website
* Having no itemized or explicit way to examine the expenditure in my grants so that when I ask admin staff how much money there is for X they reply with "you have enough money" instead of the actual amount
* Researchgate website
* Colleagues who are rude and condescending instead of going to therapy to wonder why they are insecure
* Expense reimbursement instead of having a purchase card attached to my grants
* Convincing older colleagues to use "new" technology like slack or GitHub
