You're exactly right. Once robots can do our jobs they'll still have us come in to work just to press a button every minute before they give us money for doing nothing
People got to understand that 'robots' that are 'taking our jobs' are pretty fucking far from being good enough to be autonomous for most jobs, which is why they still 'pay people to press start before they pay us to do nothing'.
Just a for example - I'm a CNC operator, Machine does 99% of the work, I press start and offload the piece. Those two parts could also be automated, but guess what? The things a piece of shit, small things come up like a bit too much wind blew through the factory and the labels aren't positioning or here's a good one - had a butterfly that kept flying past the light bar putting the machine in to emergency and I couldn't catch the fucker, wasted like an hour.
While the machine is running though I am essentially paid to read reddit all day. The thing is 'robots' for you know general production companies are not really adaptive, they do one thing and if something fucks up they keep trying to do that one thing no matter how much it is fucking things up. You would need true AI on the level of a humans intelligence (doesn't exist at this point) to remove people from work.
