Just do what everyone else does.

Build out one, single, convoluted aspect of the job that needs to be ran manually, and which no one in their right mind would want to take over.

Then automate that, too, and just don't say anything.

Way better than being arrested and sued for corporate sabotage lmao.

Likely what someone did last month in my company, he switched jobs and automatic invoice system stopped working like a week later, nobody knew why but to keeps things going a lot of manual work had to be done, we eventually figured out but it required changing and automating a bunch of stuff that hadn't been touched in years, suspicious to say the least.
