It fucking sucks when a job, something that gave a livelihood to the person doing the job and also helping others that the job was connected to, gets destroyed in favor of whether through outsourcing, insourcing, or replacing someone with a janky machine.
EDIT: Before some capital-M Materialist(tm) gets foamy about that, let me specify that I'm talking about the job actually being done worse by whatever replaces it (such as staff counselors being replaced with chatbots) and about the person being replaced basically being told to fuck off because some rich asshole wants another yacht.
