Perhaps the only difference between a professional worker and a robot is the former’s reasoning skills. Just like the professional, the robot is capable of carrying out series of tasks, but it has to be provided with coded instructions for the automatic performance of these tasks. The professional on the other hand is skilled to be able to distinguish and make choices among possible options.
Unlike the machine, the professional knows his goals, or should I say is expected to know what his job is aimed at. So you should know you are not different from a robot if you do what you do without thought, and if you have no clue about the end in view. This unfortunately is the sad case of a lot of us that work at jobs that require a decent amount expertise.
Maybe it is attributable to the constipation of our perception of the scope and limitation of what we are hired to do, or maybe we believe that our expert wishes, opinions and suggestions will not matter, no matter how constructive; whatever it is, the unquestioning dedication is not a promising thing, because “just do it” will eventually be the natural response to whatever we are asked to do in the course of our work
