Alienation of labour, what’s that?
Then you’re only getting more work, not more free time, for the same wage
See that’s where a lot of people go wrong
Automate what you can but don’t tell anyone and don’t turn it in any faster
Make your deadlines and be one with the chill
Then you have to play the look busy game if you’re in an office
Some people excel at that.
With the new free time you’ll be getting you’ll have plenty of time to practice

Then you’re doing it wrong. If you’re good at automation you can get promoted readily.
But hey if you hate Excel that much why not find another type of work. Be a carpenter. Be a tour guide. No one is forcing you to work an Excel-only office job.
You need to be lucky and have a good boss to get promoted.
With the jobmarket the way it is? If they don’t promote you, move on. I’m not saying it’s easy and of course there are people in tough spots for different reasons. But it’s more in your hands than many people think.
Historically awful? Don’t get me wrong, the advice is still solid, but this was a weird way to preface it - it’s the hardest time in my 10-year career to “just find a new job”.
Automate by hiring others.
