Thats actually my strategy;

This makes it so that 1. my quality overall becomes better and my bosses always liked that (doing things per hand are more error prone, not on time etc.)

2. I can go on holiday knowing my company doesn't need me desperate

3. I can spend the free time of actually innovating and bringing more value to the company/product

The problem is not automating yourself out of a job but not being able to leverage the new gained capacity.
