I found a way to automate a significant portion of the workflow for my job, this is a job that multiple people in the company do. Because of this I can slack off at work and still get all the work done in a much shorter amount of time.

Should I tell someone about this? Or should I keep it to myself so I can continue to slack off? If I tell them then they will likely end up shifting us to other work to keep us productive and busy, but I also might get a pay raise. What should I do?

If you tell anyone they will steal it, automate it all and fire you all.

This. The company you work for would replace you in a second. Just keep "working hard" and watch the money flow in op

I did the same for my job and bragged about it like an idiot.
Not only did it cause every other employee to be fired, I had ended up taking every one of their workloads on top of what I already had.
I never got a pay raise and ended up being severely depressed.
After about a year, I quit on the spot and now the company has gone under.

don't tell anyone and act busy and overloaded
you are in good position to find new income streams

this. they would dump you in a second if it saved them 10 bucks.
when you leave the company make sure to delete all files that could make the job easier for the next wagecuck.

this too, you could use the freetime to educate yourself and figure out new ways of income.

You get a pay raise by getting a new job and telling the interviewer what you were able to do.

If you prove yourself to be a good worker then they will pile on work for you to do with the same(or only slightly more) compensation as the lazy fucks, rising through the ranks requires politics and social skills even in supposedly meritocratic institutions like academia

This also, it's easier to advance by job hopping than working your way up which has basically become a boomer meme

Use this as an opportunity to work from home, if possible. Start pursuing art.

LOL, no fucking way. At best, they'd give you pay raise and then sack you after 1-3 months because they wouldn't need you.
