It's helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we're each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

What job is that? I'd be a God there after I automate my entire workflow and just get paid for sitting on the chair.

Manufacturing, not a ton of behind the desk work required. What little office work is required is still often done on paper or on very manual entry heavy basic excel sheets.

I dont know why tech people always forget non tech jobs still exist. You definetely wouldn't get paid for just sitting in a chair unless you've cracked industrial line automation in a way that should have already made you a billionaire. Still more automation of any kind would also be a good thing in a lot of plants.

Pulling a tech worker move, i'd just convince the tech illiterate boss that the excel thingy is too complicated and that i should use all the time i have to handle it while i then make some software that handles that annoying part of the job until it becomes too important that someone has to maintain it. of course, i'd write no documentation so i only know how the program works, as a leverage in case they think it would be a good idea to fire me lmao.
