Because we automate away jobs.
If you can fill more orders with fewer employees you go up in value, either as the ceo or the company share price.
Weve been automating away jobs in all sorts of places for decades. Sometimes that's robots. More often its just production method changes. No more need for skilled taxi drivers when you have GPS etc.

- LatteLazy 6y agoThat's true, but is it meaningful difference? If all the skilled tasks you do are automated, you're not really a skilled worker anymore are you? So suddenly the ceo can replace you with anyone else and the lower limit on your wages is minimum wage...
