Why do you think that? We can still work and produce, but instead of having new shoes released by nike every month, they would be released every year. People who want to work 80hrs/wk can still do that, essential jobs like firefighters that currently pay very little can pay 250k a year, instead of getting 10 fruits in your supermarket, you will have to deal with 5 locally grown ones, but anyone who wants to pursue other things will be generously allowed to. Usual work days can be reduced to 3 days of work per week.
We just need to reduce fetishism with non human scale technology at the cost of nature and humans. But people are still free to pursue it, and societies can pick what aspects they want.
The way people organize to work on something is to form a company (or corporation). Getting rid of them means everyone pretty much has to be self-sufficient, i.e. subsistence farming.

As they are now. Nobody is forced to work for any companies in America.
I see neither end as ideal for the average person, but we are definitely farther to the corporate side of things than I am personally comfortable with.
