* In ''Franchise/{{Quatermass}} II'', one of the characters is a mathematical genius who can calculate any equation in his head, a skill that's superfluous now that computers are used for the task. While he's still employed as a scientist, he worries that he's become redundant.

** In {{VideoGame/Pharaoh}}, construction guilds (stonecarvers, bricklayers, carpenters, etc.) disappear from the build list once all monument work is complete. Fortunately, work camps are always available since they also provide floodplain farm workers and can be used to provide lots of jobs in a relatively small space.
** VideoGame/ZeusMasterOfOlympus lets you choose when to muster troops, towers, and ships or demobilize them. This reduces unemployment even if there's no enemy to fight.

* In ''VideoGame/SurvivingMars'', there are several ways for Specialists to become obsolete, especially towards the end of the game, although nothing's stopping them from continuing in their old jobs and just twiddling their thumbs:
** Geologists are usually the first to go. A certain Breakthrough will give you fully automated mines, and the Borehole wonder gives you another metal source that's both automated and inexhaustible.
** Botanists are only needed to run the farms; ranches can be staffed by anyone. So if you don't mind pissing off the [[StrawVegetarian vegans]], you can have a pure carnivore colony. The ''Green Planet'' DLC adds the open-air farm, which takes some work to get up and running, [[DifficultButAwesome but once you do]] you've got a fully automated, plentiful, and vegan-friendly source of food.
** Scientists are essential for most of the game, but once the research tree is exhausted there's nothing else for them to do. Sure, there are some repeatable projects that give you more funding, but those are [[MoneyForNothing pointless]] at that stage of the game.

** In ''Literature/TheTruth'', after Goodmountain brings movable type to Ankh-Morpork, and he and William de Worde create the Disc's first newspaper, the Guild of Engravers and Guild of Town-Criers are both unhappy that their jobs are threatened. (The engravers adapt to the new normal by becoming the Guild of Engravers and Printers, and according to ''Mrs Bradshaw's Guidebook'', the coming of the railway in ''Literature/RaisingSteam'' means the town-criers also find a new niche doing station announcements.)
