"Persistently low productivity" sounds a lot like a euphemism for "workers are lazy" but when the owning class want an ever increasing portion of the surplus value of labour, it shouldn't come as a surprise when nobody wants to perform said labour.

Wealth gap gets bigger and bigger, workers feel less and less secure in their jobs and lives, and companies try to blame the people who are making them rich.

Even worse, they inspire infighting between the working and "middle" class. A person making $100K a year is a lot closer to someone making $45K a year than the executives making many millions a year.
