Everyone says Implement Automation

Its long time I have not written anything or shared anything with all of you. I thought to write but what?

So here I am with Real Time issue which every Manual Tester face.

Nowdays most of us are aware of word called "Automation", even on job sites we hear of Automation testers required, Do people really know what Automation means ? Client nowdays also use the line "I want Automation".  What happen then? Our so called Project Managers also shoots an email stating "we need to automate ABC Project" Are they really aware where Automation should be implemented or not? 

No, they don't know a single thing (When project manager is Non-technical). What to do ? Testers who just do manual testing comes into pressure and keep thinking their role is going to end. Is it? 

Before shooting such emails to Team one should do some analysis whether automation is feasible for project ABC or not , If yes what can be Automated because 100 % projects can't be Automated , also projects that have frequent changes can't be Automated .

Also Manual testing is needed even after project gets Automated because Scripts can't think their own. 

We should make our Managers aware first what's the difference in Automation and Manual terms .
