Money can still be an incentive in a world with guaranteed basic income if that income only covers the minimal cost of living. People would still choose to work if it was the only way to have disposable income for entertainment, hobbies, having the nicest toys or the fastest car, etc.

Its cultural. Some cultures value family time over toys - they may want the minimum effort job to optimize for face time with those they love.

They would likely give up working altogether if it were possible. Not judging; its a life choice.

I'm thinking that minimum-effort workers are fine to drop from the employment pool.
