A short article that ends with "That’s life." doesn't really inspires me anything.
Unemployment is high in many developed countries, and society is unable to occupy people with meaningful activities, to give sense to their existence, or even to give enough money to unproductive people so that they can be happy enough.
I have been depressed and unemployed for a long time, and the fact that you literally have to beg for a job just so you can get out of bed and see other people shows that work doesn't matter. Salary doesn't matter.
Work and labor has become a religion because people are afraid they might not have any purpose or to end up alone and excluded from society. You can even see unions doing politics and fighting capitalists, but completely disregard people who are unemployed.
Once you give enough money to everyone so that they have a right to exist, get shelter and food, maybe people won't be alienated by work.
