Why haven't you done this yet, /g/? Don't you realize there are literally thousands of companies which rely on humans to do tasks an easily programmable computer application could do in less time with more accuracy? Why aren't you taking advantage of this?

You see the issue with this method is that it can be viewed as somewhat psychopathic as you are making people lose their jobs for your own monetary gain (money) basically your method is effective but down right unethical

>eliminate half the call center since I can also write an automated voice response system.
>Manager gives me some made up raise and bends over, pleasantly asking for it. Since his job can also be automated

Hurrr /g/ why has you not done this yet. You can be your own boss if you just learn java and js and python n shit.

quit projecting.

Yea, sure. I'm projecting.

>>58973956
I literally am doing that past 2 years or so, just on the smaller scale, guess I saved couple dozen WTE via automation, though I'm not really counting.
The common catch is getting all the vital information necessary for your application.

Imagine you ask how they make the weekly reports so you can automate them. They tell you that employee Bob makes the reports and he knows how to make them. So you go ask Bob, and generally get one of the two results:
a) Bob is complete moron who learned the whole procedure monkey-see-monkey-do way, uses some utilities written by previous employee (or the one before them) that are either not available in source code or are some ungodly mashup of Java, PHP and M$ Excel macros.
b) Bob is smart enough to realize you're there to make him redundant. You're there to disrupt his peaceful vegetative existence he built over the years. Bob doesn't like that. He will give you incomplete or misleading information and be all kinds of uncooperative and abrasive while making sure he stays on the good side with his boss.
Either way the end result it that you can't get the automation done in reasonable time.

Some time later Bob gets aneurysm because of his sedentary lifestyle, the knowledge of making the reports is lost forever and the company either goes under or hires Pajeet and his five cousins to make them new reports from the scratch...

Because that part wouldn't work.
Unless you happen to come across really stupid CEOs at small companies that wouldnt have any staff to lay off to begin with, any software you create while at that company or for tasks at that company is property OF the company.

I hope this guy is trolling.

if those people can be replaced by a trivial script then they don't deserve any money and are essentially stealing money.
