We are doing both!

You are assuming people like to work, and jobs are something good. Without jobs, people will have less stress and more free time. They will spend more time on leisure activities, with their families, and so on.

Also jobs contribute to carbon emissions, we have to maintain cities, large offices, car makes CO2 for commute...

Companies aren't going to assign less work hours and still pay the same wages. A small group of people will become even richer and everyone else will have to work just as hard as before.

and how will they pay for rent, food, etc.? __that's__ the question

How will they pay the bills when the 1%-hoarders are keeping all the profits for themselves, and now that the Oligarchy is in full reign in the US, taxes and "big bad socialism" is out of the question?
Dole, servants to the oligarchy, policing and security (which will be more needed with a large discontented class)....
My country had socialism for 40 years. It is highly overrated.
Come to Scandinavia and see how it's done right.
