"Bill Gates says everyone needs to prepare to be out of work in 20 years due to Robots/software taking over most jobs. In preparation for this, Gates recommends people 'should basically get on their knees and beg businesses to keep employing humans' and reduce operating overhead for businesses by 'eliminating payroll and corporate income taxes while also not raising the minimum wage'. Bill Gates, you may recall, is the former CEO of Microsoft whose business acumen has brought the technology sector such things as Metro, Windows Phone and Xbox One.
BusinessInsider took a similar theme earlier this year."

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Kurt Vonnegut's attitude towards his job was probably much alike his attitude with writing novels and life in general -- "Oh, well, kinda just float along and do this, no punctuation in life, no real beginnings or ends, just kinda a stream of pseudorandom but unremarkable daydreamings you forget afterward"
While Vonnegut was daydreaming, he could have instead asked his boss about how the machines worked and how he could do more for his employer, instead of spending all day waiting for his next toke or shot.

Probably made more money as a writer anyway. Why would you have him kiss ass?
