Specialization is about workers in a business or company being skilful in their specialized areas. Though it is good for one to be a specialist in a chosen field but it comes with it's bad sides too So what are the bad sides

Monotony of work: Specializing in an area of work would leave you doing the same job day in, day out

increased boredom
With specialized jobs you become excessively bored as you do the exact thing daily

High level of staying jobless for a long time
If you lose your speciakised job it might take you a while to get the same job again.

Lack of versatility
You are not versatile as you would be used to just a certain skill. So transfering skills might be difficult.

Specialization of labour has its merits and demerits in the organisation.
One of the disadvantages for it is that you would have a higher number of qualified personnel rather than having few workers that can do multitasking.

Yeah you are right with specialisation you are not preparing your employees fir the task of multitasking. They are only about a specific role so they might not be able to cover up if one worker isnt available.

The potential downsides of specialization for workers include limited skill development, monotony, and vulnerability to job loss due to industry changes.

When you are specialized for something like programming language and become senior you can get better salary but when tech become outdated, it is little harder change tech and stay on same level.

A lot of people do get bored when they do the same thing over and over again. Some time back a company tried to correct this by selecting a day where each member of the company would learn something from each department, to spice things up a bit.

Absolutely,people do get bored when they do the same thing over and over again. This might bring inefficiency as you might have the passion or the drive to continue it just the way you should.
