FOR FUCKING RICH PEOPLE, DUH Let's say you make widgets for a living. You're on an hourly. You get $10 regardless of how many widgets you make. Let's say your boss is a capitalist who wants to make money. The more widgets you make, the more widgets he can sell and the richer he can get. Let's say he discovers that a judicious application of methamphetamine and corporal punishment increases your widget output by 200%. He now has twice as many widgets to sell as he did - because your productivity went up. And let's be honest; meth is cheap and he'd whip you for fun so it's a win-win. For him anyway. You? You're still making $10 an hour only now you've got welts on your back and meth bugs on your wrists. YAY PRODUCTIVITY! This is why capitalists want to talk about productivity, rather than job satisfaction.
