Suddenly games wouldn't see a localised version anymore. To play anything that requires language comprehension, you'd have to study the source language.
This thankfully doesn't impact me personally, but people would lose out on some cool content. Not everyone finds it fun to spend years to acquire a language to the degree some games require.
Maybe arcade would make a comeback.
I'm a project manager, so kind of a mixed bag. Some things will go off without a hitch, maybe even faster. Others will fall to pieces from a logistics and budgetary aspect. Loads of toilets will be gold plated and encrusted in diamonds
Software might actually stop developing new bugs. People will stop getting frustrated with technology, and world peace will happen.
The automatically controlled systems in cars will go to the dogs. They're already at the door as it is. I guess we could cycle to work, might be a good thing.
Production planner here. Eventually you will notice that things are done inefficiently, not in a sensible order or timely manner. It's gonna be really annoying but the world won't collapse.
My exact job title? Well, my family is sad, but no one else would notice.
I told Dad not to let you choose your own job title. It doesn't even fit on a business card. /s
About 15 seconds.
Wholesale food buyer. A lot of people die from starvation.
I'm just gonna say right away. I'm pretty confident that's true. Way too many weapons guidance systems, radar, communications, and sensors involved.
I'm an apartment building superintendent, meaning I live in the same building that I manage.
Whether it's a water leak, fire alarm, someone having a medical crisis, or something else, I'm usually called for an emergency of one kind or another at least once every 48 hours. In theory, someone could die if paramedics are delayed by a locked door or the fire department doesn't know which units have elderly/disabled people who need evacuation assistance.
Basically the slow death Twitter has been experiencing, but across all of tech.
It sounds very good not to have any Unemployed people, but the more you think about it the more dystopian it gets.
Depending on how broad we are talking..
I'm Human Resources. Many would be glad we're gone, but Human Resources are there to do many tasks people take for granted such as setting up benefits (retirement, health, life, etc), to vetting and hiring, and mediating between managers and employees. Often times, these require extensive knowledge on how to navigate labyrinthian laws that sometimes change regularly and less-than-friendly benefit companies.
More specifically, I'm a workers compensation specialist within HR. My job is being a subject matter expert and a liason between the employees and an underfunded, understaffed, stretched to the limits Workers Compensation program that is struggling under the weight of a massive worker population with little in funding being provided to it. I anticipate the needs of the work comp program to try to ease the burden of the workers falling into a denial-appeal cycle.
To be fair.. society would march on without us. There'd be this horrible adjustment period for the workforce where managers who may be industry specialized (Like a manager of nurses isn't really trained to handle most HR functions) have to pick up new skills. And for a while you'll probably see a lot of people not being enrolled, disenrolled, tracked, vetted, etc as people figure it out.
Overall, you'd probably see a lot of unions/angry workers and it would probably hasten a long a massive amount of protests and strikes. Human Resources in the private sector acts like a buffer in some ways. Correcting issues individually before they become systemic.
I'm an industrial mechanic mainly doing cnc machining. The world would grind to a halt in a few days.
I'm in an industry where there are already not enough of us, and it's already showing. It would get worse to say the least
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Specialist. If you got rid of just the specialists you probably be fine. The techs, analysts, and admins could hold things together. If all of the GIS experts disappeared all together we would probably start getting hungry pretty quick, and the US military would get a lot shittier. basically, anything that relies on a geolocation is kinda screwed. Lots of it has actually been automated so we might be fine for a bit.
