Pay and Production are no longer related for most workers - So Production can be cut, without lowering pay for most workers.

I was just recently laid off for doing that for several years at my last job. I wasn't "being a team player" and I "do great work, but I could do more" and my "attitude was affecting the team negatively" (read: your enlightening other employees to the fact we are taking advantage of them). Never mind the fact they fired my assistant 3 years ago and never rehired anyone so i was doing two jobs the entire time. Or the fact during my time there i improved a core function of the job by over 20% and saved the company 10s of thousands a year. No, i needed to do more for free. Fuck every employer who operates this way. /rant
No good deed goes unpunished. I found out my job was breaking labor laws about overtime, informed my coworkers that were really getting screwed over by it (being worked 70 hours one week then 10 hours the next week and told OT was calculated by the 80 hour pay period), including unsalaried middle management, to read the labor law poster in the break room. Guess who got relentlessly harassed and then constructively fired by the new store manager, but was young and dumb enough to not recognize retaliation? Turns out all ownership was directly involved intentionally making my life a living hell at work because I expected basic labor law to be followed. That's how I figured out middle management are usually class traitors too.
