Everyone with your exact job title in your industry vanishes, how long until awful things happen?
I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.
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.
within a few hours. water and wastewater don’t treat themselves. water would stop coning out of taps. wastewater would back up into people’s homes and without a way to deal with it the environment would go to shit.
damn this makes me feel like i might be doing something important. i should be paid more
People would die as X-rays and medical devices stop working. The power and communication grids would go down. Everyone’s financial and personal data would be compromised. No one can make any purchases, because credit carding systems stop working. Cash is no longer accepted because no one knows how to do the math to make change anymore. Humanity would be in a stone age in less than 3 days.
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.
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.
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.
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
