Most jobs now require social and emotional intelligence

[Aspea]

This is kind of me venting...

Remember data entry jobs? Now adays, virtually all data entry jobs require you to also answer the phones.

Remember records clerk jobs? Now adays, those jobs are far far fewer in number and very difficult to find or get.

Remember warehouse / production jobs? They mostly moved to China / India.

Remember medical coder? This job has now become very easy to get fired from, for such offenses as not fitting into the "workplace culture."

Remember entry level jobs? Now they require a bachelor's degree or knowing the right person. Although it was headed in that direction already 15 years ago.

And as soon as I think I've found a job ad that will be a good fit, I find that it has a social / emotional intelligence component.

I sent a health and safety inspector running one day, he randomly chose the business I was working in for an inspection that day.

I had a beer in my hand and was taking a swig as he walked in, his nose was out of joint right from the start. I also had a very strong smell of marijuana hanging around me and instead of steel capped boots I was wearing a pair of thongs.

He started berating me about breaking the law, I pulled him up short and told him off for misquoting law in order to represent his own personal convictions. He asked me to explain so I did.

The law states that my employer must provide insurance for all employees, which he has done. By not complying to the insurance company's regulations I have negated my right to claim insurance but I was perfectly within my rights to do so if I wish. Yes I am quite aware that I am working uninsured but that is by my choice, not by my employers, not by my government, and most certainly not by a large commercial corporation from another country. Bugger off!

He went.

You're correct. The job market dynamics are changing quite a bit. Now, and for the near future (5-10 years), I have a sense that skilled labor will be the "hot ticket" as, at least in the US, there's been a renewed push towards infrastructure improvements and shifting away from "big oil" to "big electric". The trickle down with all the new technology is requiring significant upgrades to our existing systems, new construction, and a long list of other major projects.

A lot of those "entry level" jobs, especially those requiring repetitive motions or high-risk environments will be taken over by A.I. and robots. Tesla is starting production in January, 2025. So, this transition won't take long, given the $25,000 price tag for a robot that will pay for itself in a few months and then be free labor.

Data entry, records/clerks, warehouse/production jobs will easily be taken over by A.I. and robots.

In 10-15 years, the job market landscape for humans will look quite different. Hang on to your hats kids, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

I still recall that fateful day in 1981 when they plopped an IBM computer down on my desk.

The easy pace of doing manual paperwork had just ended. The day the music died...

And you wonder why I can't even get a simple job without college. I couldn't do college because of the social aspect I can never make a single friend there. Also I can never pass most of the classes because again being ostracized not having any friends or anyone to talk or study with seeing couples, platonic's and cliques everywhere I would flunk.

I am going to try to get an increase in my SSDI next year and maybe my church and friends there can give me some low paying part time temp under the books work.

Edit: Dammit it's against the law. Social security wants you to live in poverty. But i by some miracle I do get a job on my own my autism will mess it up and I will lose it then I will have nothing.
