There are so many instances in which robots have taken jobs away from human employees. Some of them are;

Switchboard operator- Days of manual telephone switchboards are long gone. In the olden days, a switchboard operator would have to physically connect calls by inserting phone plugs into the relevant jacks.
Factory workers- Assembly and industrial robots controlled by computers can assemble cars and other products. Today, almost all large manufacturing jobs use robots to make millions of different products efficiently and at a low cost.
Lift operator- First lifts could not automatically stop perfectly on the level you wanted. Instead, they were manually controlled by a large lever, and a lift operator would have to judge when to stop the lift as well as opening and locking the doors.
Railway station ticket seller- Railway stations up and down the country now have machines where passengers can buy and collect tickets.

A big NO. Because

Organizations today are faced with increasing labor costs and a shortage of workers and are thus investing in robotics. Robots never demand raises and are able to work around the clock. Robots can perform tasks that most humans could not possibly do, such as working in challenging conditions and being able to purport amazing feats with utmost precision.

Robots are becoming present in more and more situations in business. They work right alongside human workers or completely replace them. For example, Amazon.com Inc. uses a variety of robots in its warehouses to stock inventory, and retrieve and package items.

The concern about future employment and future jobs is an understandable effect of the increasing automation possibilities. Many people fear that robots will take over their job. However, as shown by the IFR report, facts prove otherwise.
