A joint study from Oracle and Future Workplace found that as many as 64% of workers would trust a robot over their manager, and more than 50% say they have already turned to a robot for advice instead of their manager.
This trend is especially pronounced in Asia, where employees expressed a disproportionate distrust in their human colleagues when compared to technology.
For example, 89% of workers in India and 88% of workers in China admitted to trusting robots over their managers.
In addition, labor forces in Singapore (83%), Brazil (78%), Japan (76%), Australia and New Zealand (58%), the U.S. (57%), France (56%), and the U.K. (54%), said they trust robots over their managers.
The findings are based on responses from more than 8,300 professionals in 10 countries.
