    I still remember reading the story of "Eric" a young guy working in IT at a job where no one needed him to actually do his job, he was merely hired to postpone a dispute between his bosses indefinitely, and never do anything. The story of personal self destruction that followed rang very true to me, even without capitalism work is important to people, it's a part of their identity and feeling of self worth. We want to know that we are good at something, good for something, and denying a person that is just cruel.
