    When you do more than necessary, one or more of the following will happen:

    • Your coworkers stop doing their most unpleasant tasks, knowing you’ll pick up the slack.
    • Your more ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, viewing you as a rival to the next higher position.
    • Your less ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, cause your effort shines a light on how little they get done.
    • Your boss notices unrest in his team and boots you to restore the peace.

      Yep. And if you do automate a lot of tasks, don’t tell your boss that it’s now set to the “easy button.” They will let you go because now they can get a cheaper person.
