If someone can successfully train racoons to do their job I'd probably give them a raise and some deodorant

Under capitalism they would be fired and the raccoons made to replace them for no pay.
No joke there are tons of stories of people writing programs to automate their job, management finding out, and basically getting fired while the company appropriates their automation code, since from their profit chasing perspective why should they pay someone if they can just take the code they wrote which will do the same thing for free?
- Which is why you always implement a dead man's switch that you can turn off if you leave the job amicably. And never leave your source code behind if you can avoid it.

Look if you can get Raccoons to do your work for you, it should be an instant promotion to manager.

acivement unlocked: Manager of Racoons
- Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.

Is noone going to comment on how someone trained a bunch of animals to help with cleaning? They were more than an employee, they were a Disney Princess!

How difficult would it be to teach raccoons to manage IT infrastructure?

Asking for a friend.

They keep trying to wash the server

Corporate only doesn't want the raccoons trained because then they might have to pay them.

It can be worse - they might start raccoon union
- Racoonion

If the job is done, where is the problem?

Sounds like staff is gonna train the racoons

You get work done for you, they get trash. Win/win

Necessity breads innovation.

We had a raccoon living in our attic. I would have liked to train it to take the trash to the curb, but instead it just peed on the floor until a stain came through to the other side.

I hope he was paying those raccoons a fair wage! outsourced work is often done in unethical ways!

In my old condo you didn't really put the trash bag in the dumpster. The raccoons were waiting on the dumpster and you'd hand the bag to them basically.

But the boxes were taken to the dumpster, yes? With time saved, even? Someone in a managerial position would rather hire, train, and pay a devoted garbage person instead of three adorably unpaid raccoons?

Darcy the human wants healthcare. Trained trash pandas want apples. Why are we even discussing this?
I see no problems
- Until the raccoons unionize and demand healthcare coverage instead of just table scraps.
