Company CEO asking publicly on slack how much of my team's work can now be done by AI. Fortunately I have reached my LEANFIRE number and am prepared for the day
(Post written without any AI)
I see the writing on the wall. I don't know if my team can be fully replaced with AI - may be it can or may be it can't. But I clearly see the push from top to replace my team with AI. Work will likely become super boring if AI becomes the norm and I do not plan to stick around much longer after that. Anyhow, I have reached my leanfire with a bit of help from company:
Family background: 37M, single, parent, work from home tier two city, brother lost somewhere in USA
Current expenses - father monitors expenses and it about 25K per month for three of us. I cover the large expenses such as insurance (50K health for parents, 25K life for me) and other large expenses such society charges
Living situation: 2 houses, one where we live and another in a Tier 1 city where we go and live for a month every quarter - poor man's vacation. All our relatives are in the Tier 1 city but we like the peace and quite and low population in tier 2 city
Current income - ~3L in hand cash, the usual PPF, bonus ~10%
Break down - all in INR
Total Corpus: 4.2 Cr
Equity MF: 2.8 Cr
EPF PPF: 0.55 Cr
Direct stocks: 0.3 Cr
NPS: 0.06 Cr
Cash on hand: 0.07 Cr
US ETF: 0.03 Cr - late to the game
Company vested ESOPs: 0.4 Cr that is currently held in arbitrage funds and will be used to invest in US ETF at 50K per month over the next 2-3 years
Upcoming major events: About time I get married. I have no interest or heart it in but my parent keeps pushing. I am already an uncle and my marriage value is quite low.
Future plans: Our company does not do layoffs, haven't laid off anyone that I know of. I am rated either EE or ME last 3 years. I like the current role (Analysis, preparing reports, talking to customer about our finding, help them optimize their position). Company is fairly small and I do not see any team that I would like to join internally. Exit is probably my only path. I also do not want to go back to shitty tier 1 cities so I am closely reviewing my options. May be something will work out, may be nothing will. Who knows.
