Should the rewards of more production go to the fewer workers or mostly to the top management?

We hear the argument that we should not reward machines or technology for higher production but if companies could produce everything without any labor, they would do so. So fewer employees is used as an excuse not to reward the higher production. I don't understand that thinking??
