Rule-based, not a prediction
What To Do Next
Customer service manager has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
