Repetitive skills like pattern recognition, information retrieval, optimization and planning are most vulnerable to automation. On the other hand, social and cognitive skills such as creativity, problem-solving, drawing conclusions about emotional states and social interactions are least vulnerable.
The most resilient competencies (those least likely to be displaced by AI) included critical thinking, teamwork, interpersonal skills, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Yuval Harari, a historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, described the rise of AI as a "cascade of ever-bigger disruptions" in higher education rather than a single event that settles into a new equilibrium. The unknown paths taken by AI will make it increasingly difficult to know what to teach students.
Perhaps we can all be employed as therapists, counseling each other about our feelings of irrelevance?

Then who is going to do all the fucking up, bullshitting, and blaming?

A properly trained AI, with well developed traits along the directions you mentioned.

Fear not, if the AI can't handle that, the workers can make a fair go of it as well. It may cut into productivity if they have to stop working to do it in a meeting but if the upper level execs hold their meetings out where the workers are working, they're quite capable of fucking up, bullshitting, and blaming without ever stopping work. It's just a hobby for them rather than a profession.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

The AI would get a MBA so that it could operate in the same manner as an executive.
