I'd argue that - to some extent - "work" in the traditional, contemporary sense is good for people.
Now it's 4:30 EST so maybe I'll get downvoted for this, but I do think the idea of getting up at a prescribed time and doing a prescribed thing ostensibly for the benefit of something helps keep us satiated in some odd aspect of humanity.
What I feel like will happen is the very nature of work will change - obviously it will be a long time before robots can self-innovate, so we'll have some period wherein it will still be our responsibility to think "next step" (even if we're not thinking it).
The problem, of course, is not everyone is qualified to contribute to that end - what happens to those people in the relatively short timespan I can't say. They won't be in a position to enjoy some sort of universal acceptance of leisure as the way we spend our time.
