When he first heard the news on the radio, Charles could hardly believe it. He had been told by some friends to expect what happened, but still, he just couldn’t accept it. He had spent too many years perfecting his trade to think that the time would come when machines would replace him and his skills.
That was the news that struck his ears early on that morning five months ago when the announcement came. The company was going to install machines and save thousands of dollars in production costs. Unfortunately, for Charles it meant that his job was going to be abolished.
At first he had thought it was humiliating to be replaced by a machine. But, now, months later, he felt relieved that his skills were not lost, but, instead, valuable enough to be placed in a computer! Those skills were still producing useful products for people, and now his job was to supervise rather than do the work himself.
Charles had, as they say, "moved up in the world". He was no longer a worker; he was a manager!
