Open the companion tool →Why the conversation is negotiable
When automation absorbs part of a role, what happens next is not automatic — reassignment, retraining, severance, or a changed scope are all on the table, and the person who arrives with a position usually gets a better one than the person who reacts.
The brief is small: the facts of what changed, the value you still hold, the specific ask, and the fallback if the ask fails. Writing it down before the meeting is the whole difference.
The protocol
- Write the facts: which tasks were automated, and what you still do that a machine cannot.
- Name your remaining value — the judgment, relationships, and context you hold.
- Choose the specific ask: reassignment, retraining, a changed scope, or a clean exit.
- Write the fallback, and set a date for the conversation.
What the tool does
Build a one-page brief for the automation conversation: facts, value, ask, and fallback. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This is a preparation aid, not legal advice and not a guarantee of any employer's response. For severance or rights questions, consult a qualified professional.
Open the companion tool →One human next step
Have the conversation on the date you set. Know your rights before it: check the DOL's guidance and your state's rules, and get legal help if severance is involved.
