Well work is getting harder like years ago with the "Do more with less" in that was a fail as the workers had to get less done faster. And you shouldn't put the workers in that position anyway and so it failed.
So now with robots making the workers work around them is just tiring! On the same point of when local Walmarts would push the bipolar workers into mania so they put more in the shelf making other workers have to work harder looking bad."Why are you not productive like him?" I saw the Walmart memo in the office about it! It said to not do it because of "Possibly undesirable results." Glad we got brought up from it. But now to say "Don't work too hard." is a stupid thing to say being the new work environment with robots taking over your job making you go here and there back and forth!
~~~~~The future of retail work
Although Walmart maintains that the bots allow workers to engage more with customers, labor advocates worry that automating manual tasks will trigger layoffs in retail.
Walmart has said that it will reduce the hours it assigns workers to unloading boxes and mopping the floors. That will lead to some employee attrition over time, Walmart said.
"As we evolve, there are certain activities, certain jobs that'll go away," Walmart US CFO Michael Dastugue said at an analyst conference last month.
But Walmart expects to use some of the hours it saves because of the robots to assign workers to newly created roles, such as selecting customers' grocery-pickup and delivery orders.
Dastugue said that technology will force employees to be flexible and "be able to handle change."
"We may need them to do them one activity in the morning and a different activity in the afternoon," he said.
