RE: The Robots Are Coming - But Not Yet! AI Vs RI
At work, there are always people who practice "job protectionism". They just hang onto all the knowledge for themselves leaving us newer people scrambling to figure things out. With the internet these days, we can learn a lot of it relatively quickly and it really scares them. Now, it's a generating a divide as they are realizing that they are quickly becoming obsolete.
Don't worry about them, people who practice job protectionism are the least effective people in an organisation. As they are so focused on their job title and status, that they entirely miss what the job is actually about.
Of course they will feel threatened, when new people not only learn the info they have been hogging, but also put it to far better use than the old guard.
The key is to not turn into one of 'them', always ask yourself how you can contribute to the company, that way the knowledge you acquire becomes dynamite! :-)

Indeed! I'm putting in all the effort not to turn into one of them. They are not only less productive, they are counter productive... Inhibiting everyone else.
