1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: I automated my useless boss out of her mother freaking job. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: That is what you call the robots taken over baby. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: This happened a few years ago. I was a data 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: and reporting analyst and did all the ad hoc reports 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: for the company. My boss will call her. Carrie was 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: a useless garbage bag of bones. She was one of 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: the people that always was late and left early and 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: took days off at short notice. The only thing of 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: value she did was all the regular reports sales, revenue, 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: et cetera. We suspected she got away with it because 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: she was having an affair with the boss we'll call 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: him Stewart. Jeez, this is this is messy. Our CEO 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: was a fairly decent bloke. He'd always look out for 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: ways to cut costs and would pay regular bonuses for 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the best cost saving initiatives. Carrie was very keen to 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: submit ideas and encourage us all to automate her tasks 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: so she could try to take credit for the savings 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: on one of her skive days. 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: What's a skim I guess like a skip day? 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I got yeah, skip day hooky was which coincidentally, 21 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Stuart was also sick as well. The CEO was desperate 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: for the sales report. My boss does, I said, I 23 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: look I'd say, I said, I'd give it a look 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: over and see if I could get it done. Normally, 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: she'd spend two or three days doing it each week, 26 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: but the CEO wanted it that afternoon. A quick inspection 27 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: of the data showed it could quite easily be automated, 28 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: so I knocked up the necessary script and got it 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: over to the CEO, who was super impressed that not 30 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: only had I done it in a couple hours, but 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: also that it could be updated whenever he needed it. 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 2: He asked if I could look at. 33 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: The yeah, dude, oh, p's save in the company money. 34 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: He asked if I could also look at the revenue 35 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: churn in a couple of other reports. Over that afternoon, 36 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I automated every single task my boss did. Both Carrie 37 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: and Stewart were back in the Both Carry and Stewart 38 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: were back in the next day, but were immediately summoned 39 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: to the CEO's office before being suspended and sent home. 40 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Turns out the CEO knew they were having an affair, 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: and all the times they were sick or late or 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: had to leave work early was so they could sneak 43 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: off and do the doo. 44 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: He'd not done anything about it. 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Because of how important these reports are now that they 46 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: were automated. He was able to get them suspended and 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: later fired for gross misconduct for all the time they'd 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: taken off. I also got a nice bonus out of it, dude, 49 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: Oh pe wow op he really just hit three home 50 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: runs with one swing. 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah. That's that is power, my friend. 52 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: That is power.
