If the engineers work to make a process more efficient so that the output is greater, but the overall impact on the worker is to decrease the amount of work, does the worker get more pay for the higher output even though they are putting in less work?

The overall impact impact on the company is increased profits and that management gets a rise in salary and increase in bonus due to what the engineers did.
Your point?

And while we're at it, there were a multitude of $20 million+ bonuses doled out for those wrecking the national economy, so just stop, I mean -just stop-, with the unremitting idiotic nonsense notion of bust-ass workers not being entitled to even the most minimal portion of advantage bestowed upon society by way of technological advance in regard to their paycheck, just as such bounty fell into the lap of their nothing-to-go-with-it-themselves bosses and stock shareholders.
