How is that any different from lazy and bad workers today? Asking for references won't go away just because of UBI. Heck, there are lazy people who are already like this even without UBI.

Yeah. Think about just what kind of workers we might be losing to UBI + laziness. Will we really miss them?

If anything, people dropping out of the workforce to live on a subsistence UBI would make it easier for both employers and motivated workers to connect. Employers would know that anyone they're interviewing is already more motivated.
