Jamie felt guilty automating work tasks until the system proved its worth: automated file uploads to the cloud created tamper-proof records for court cases. The automation gave Jamie actual breaks during the day and sparked a new project.
Our friend Jamie doesn't do that though.
Wait, there's more. The problem solver in my, you know, soul would be trying to figure out what else I could do. What are the other things I'd be talking to? Like, hey, so like they probably have a ton of weirdo systems like that.
Yeah, I completely agree. A lot of questions that Jamie could ask to try and find other tasks. Are they using typewriters in the back room? No, I was literally like, could you automate like other things for other people to make their lives easier? Like make their job faster, better, like, Yeah, I'm with you.
Our friend Jamie doesn't do that though.
Wait, there's more? There's a ton more, but I'm just letting you know that Jamie sits with some guilt for a little bit, and then it's like, they love that all the files are getting uploaded to the cloud. We're able to prove to court that there's been no tampering. The fidelity all checks out. Jamie gets to go off and enjoy her life in the middle of the workday. So Jamie takes a new project. This is a solid win-win.
