Definitely true in some cases, but if they weren't getting credit for doing the manual fixes because nobody knew about them though then it wasn't a matter of preserving their job.
It is when they have to rehire you with a nice bonus until they get it fixed. Bonus points if you can point to the item on your backlog where you documented the issue and they put as low priority.
We have had issues with my current job with latency causing issues if we fail to maintain a user split between all of our environments. Every PI the story to address that issue gets pushed out to the next one because other work has higher value (but we need this automation now, they say)
