It is not the job of companies to give excess capital to their workers. Where did you get that idea from?
The rate workers are paid depends on the market for their skills and what retention the company wants. Worker pay will increase as the economy heats up and causes the labor pool to tighten.

What about for the rest of the population that doesn't? They're burnt out, disabled, addicted, ill, obese, unhappy, indebted, deluded, ignorant, and servile.

This isn't happening. Governments are handing out cash to companies at the expense of society and then the companies are double dipping again.
