I find a lot of people are actually happy that they can offload mundane parts of job to automatons and to be really busy with the interesting parts.
It is not like you have to give them fun parts of the job.
While being a team lead for people I actually have to do the opposite. Get interesting parts to hand over to people to keep them happy and pick mundane not interesting boilerplate myself.
I keep hearing my this very much, so I have a question: what fun parts are there left for me?
It feels like this message of “offloading mundane tasks so you will have more time to do fun parts” is being pushed so hard, but in reality the opposite is happening. Fun parts are being offloaded while I’m left doing the soul sucking and mundane parts
