Can you be more specific? I'm probably a bit younger than you I've been in the workforce for 8 years but my current job is one that replaced older jobs devestated by computers. I don't have a union but I make 225k/year with 25 days pto on top of holidays and management that treats us like adults. Most software engineers are similar and the ones who make it in big tech make my salary look like peanuts. Is there another industry where the computer replacement for the job was actually worse?

Note that I don't agree with op I'm not confident that will be reflected with ai, but I'm surprised by this take since the vast majority of jobs that replaced people with computers tend to be insanely high paying by historical and even current standards.
