Not at most modern companies in the real world.
Jobs have already been so hyper-specialized that you have minimal staff "managing" large portions of the company, amortized over a large number of locations / amount of business.
Consequently, if a job task is taken off their plate, there are innumerable additional tasks to backfill the free time.
And critically, tasks that are probably more intellectually fulfilling than the lowest-hanging-fruit rote tasks that are automated.
