The safest job in the building was always the night shift. Nobody wanted it, so it always paid.
A machine just took it — for the cost of the electricity to run it.
One robot covers three overnight shifts. No overtime. No callouts. No one to replace at 3 a.m.
The $200,000 a year a factory used to spend on nights just became a line you delete.
The robots didn't come for the day shift first. They came for the one nobody wanted.
