Another thing I noticed with technology advancements. Is the free time it generates by simplifying tasks means jobs start snowballing responsibilities they shouldn’t have, to fill in the “extra time”. Which ends up in people doing some really weird jobs, they probably shouldn’t be doing or are unqualified for.
I see this a lot in Marketing where a “Communications” job is basically the work of multiple specializations and most of them don’t translate well. The descriptions of these roles is basically a shotgun blast of everything a Design Firm would do rolled into one person.
One thing that gets me since the double digits and is part of the enshitification is I notice more and more work is passed onto customers. I have more “paperwork” in this late computer age than I did when I was going through physical mail and writing physical checks.
