Why is firing workers inconsistent with paying dividends? They kind of feel like two sides of the same coin: a company can't find a better return on its capital

Why is firing workers inconsistent with paying dividends? They kind of feel like two sides of the same coin: a company can't find a better return on its capital so it divests itself of the resource (labor or cash).
