that is the argument is that workers back then, mainly farmers, only worked when there was an actual job to do. unlike workers nowadays which has you wage slaving for no reason, with no goal or endpoint, medieval peasants or serfs would work in season. harvest, planting, etc, and when it was done, it was done.  in a way, this is superior in comparison to our modern working culture. which is purely focused on busy work and bullshit jobs, wasting your time, just to say you are "doing something". for example, i work for a city, and do part-time because i hate the idea that after we finish everything (only takes about 4-5 hours) then i have to fuck around for another 3-4 hours to hit 8 hours. it is just a waste of time.
