Thanks for all your comments!
Where I am now there are several adjuncts whom I, as area head, "supervise", and I frequently have tinges of jealousy, for the reasons copyright mentions: a lot of the busywork is just "poof" gone, plus the "this isn't really part of your job but you really should do this" type of expectations.
Was biting tongue in a meeting last week to keep from shouting, "This is all BS!" Instead, I smiled, nodded, and made suggestions, like a good little drone, and counted months to ER inside.
There is the money issue, of course, copyright, but as long as our lifestyle itself, money-wise is unaffected, even if it ends up working 75% less for 17% of the pay, I'm not sure I'll care. There would also be the lifestyle improvement of more time to spend with Beloved Spouse.
So we shall see!
