not true for me, at least not in any conventional sense of the word. I would call it "function" maybe but that can be abstract and includes idling.
Consider a bridge. Its purpose is literally to stand there and not move at all. It is as far away from "work" as anything could possibly be. Any action, any movement which you might call "work" is one that the bridge is supposed to NOT fulfill. It is not supposed to move. It is not supposed to do anything. It is supposed to stand perfectly still, do nothing at all, idling. That is its function, but it is not work, no matter how you define work.
