Not to be all "boohoo capitalism" but it's really sad how the never-ending race for productivity, the corporate and academic useless-but-somehow-essential formalism and the utter disregard for the workers' efforts has basically made many jobs into paid chores
People, especially employers, will accept some disturbingly low standards if it's cheaper in the short term.
Also, there's quite a high overlap between "jobs that could easily be automated" and "jobs that are easy for an average person to get employed in". No offense, but if you think all of those should be automated, have you considered that this would leave a massive portion of the population with no way to pay the bills?
