If employees continue thinking working from home is productive and the employer management staff is to afraid to demand the employees come back to work. This give upper management opportunity to do a test run on automation. This is a win for the Tech field and a loss for those peoples that think they are slick by using this to work two jobs.

Google will probably be the first one, and they desperately need it. It is almost impossible to reach someone at Google support, think about how many people they would need to hire. Billions of people use their services literally everyday.

I feel like its already happening, receiving annoying robo calls isn't unusual these days. 20 years is a long time - telemarketing needs to evolve (no idea how) or it will be gone.
