Unironically, a CEO, whose job is basically taking shots at spreadsheets would be a good candidate to be replaced. As well as many of the useless managers that only see numbers, not people, and take decisions based on those (frequently with less than decent results).

I work in the food industry. Our plants have robots. They replaced humans 1 to 1 in areas like pick-n-place: take the food from a conveyor belt and put it inside a packaging. 

They can do that really well, but when you try to put them to taste a product, or to inspect the presentation of the product, or to diagnose why that so well functioning robot is not working properly, they will fail miserably.

A robot will only replace a worker that doesn't need to have a brain to do their work.
