Employment has no intrinsic value.

Much of what people do at work is little more than activity.

Often, a wage is essentially payment for being somewhere that one doesn't want to be.

A lot of the work that is being done isn't helping anybody. A lot of it's harmful.

Of the work that is useful, an increasing amount of it is being done by machines. Humans will continue to do a smaller and smaller percentage, as mechanization and computerization take over more and more of the productivity.

Productivity cannot continue to increase, certainly not without modifications to its effects on ecosystems.

If productivity cannot increase at the current rate, and people are going to be doing a smaller percentage of the total work, large-scale employment is unsustainable.

The idea that work is inherently good, is based upon antiquated thinking.
