This is a good point. But it would increase compensation for the remaining executive. Perhaps a middle manager could nix the decision for some time, but someone higher up would benefit.
I think it’s also faulty to think that automated executives means fired old executives. Most likely would be that executives are freed up from rote activities and would then do higher value activities.
Kind of like how Amazon Go didn’t fire a bunch of cashiers, but is a new venture.
Automation results in new jobs on the macro level because it removes the boring parts of jobs.
I think the end game would be to have all of Amazon automated except for Bezos. This is an extreme example and don’t think it would go to this level, but this seems to be Amazon’s model.
