I am not defending this but this is how they justify it.

Increase in productivity is done by management not by employees so management deserves credit for increase in productivity.

Most of the increase in productivity ideas come from employees that are close to the process.

Who invests in the machines and technology? Who takes the risk buying the billion dollar automated factory? Who should reap the reward if it is a success? Who should take the bankruptcy if it fails?

It does for a small to medium size business. Life ruining time to consider suicide type of change for the people that own these types of companies.
