Unsure if this accounts for businesses that were already reducing staff or had lost staff in the last few years and which have gone to automation in order to retain similar levels of productivity. It isn't that people are being fired for a robot to take over, just that more of the tasks that would have been done by a person are now being done by a machine.

This is us. Can't hire enough bodies to do the job, so automation and better self-service systems are the go.

I just had some dev time to get some automation done, saving 100+ person hours per month. The ROI on that is about 2 months.

I expect to lose more people in the next year and they won't be replaced, trying to get as much automation as I can.
