I just saw my old job title listed as 'fully automated' in an industry report
I worked as a data entry clerk for a shipping company in Cleveland for eight years. The report said that role is now 100% handled by software, no human needed. It felt strange to see the exact thing I did for so long just wiped off the board. I knew things were changing, but seeing that number made it real. It makes me wonder what jobs are next on that list. Has anyone else seen their old field get that kind of automation score?

Man, that's a gut punch to read. I can't imagine how weird that feels, seeing your whole old job just... turned into a line in a report like that. Eight years is a long time, and it wasn't just pushing buttons, you know? You knew the quirks, the little problems to watch for. Makes the whole thing feel pretty cold. I get why it has you thinking about what's next, for sure.

Yeah, I read a piece about how even creative jobs are getting that automation score now.
