That doesn’t ring true in my decade of management. Some people are just incapable of doing a bad job, and others just incapable of doing a good job. Whether or not they want to work for you.

A decade of management under a system where people have to work whatever job is available to them just to survive. That's a huge, screaming confounding variable. If the people you've managed have a meaningful choice in where to work, then they aren't the primary target of UBI.

Considering we’ve never (to my knowledge) had a system where People didn’t have to work to survive at some level - how would anyone know?

Even idle noblity had expectations (military service, patrons of arts and society, etc).
