Yes, but that doesn't mean it must be done through the horrible industrial-age organizational structure.

There's this growing narrative that work and survival income should be decoupled.
It is one thing to "work to survive" in an untamed world. It is another thing entirely to have to do so in today's everything-is-taken world.
There's a recent TED talk by Karl Widerquist about this: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/No-One-Has-the-Right-Karl-Wider
Hence it is not immoral or privileged in any sense to propose a workplace decoupled from survival. In fact, corporatism lobbies to destroy people's alternatives for survival and then rushes in offering cozy cocoons of money you can't refuse... As long as you trade in unquestioning obedience and "performance." To build an endless stream of Butler on demand "apps..."
So, in fact, a workplace that assumes a sane society of shared basics is a rather refreshing proposition. Or a workplace whose work is to help birth that society, somehow.
