This is a problem fundamental to capitalism. Capitalist organizations are organized as dictatorships, with capitalists as the dictators. Captialists have their own class interests that is opposed to the workers'. And they also are the ones who unilaterally decide how increased productivity gains (revenue/profit) are distributed. They are not going to decide to give you another day off. They are going to maximize profit.

ALL technological progress under capitalism goes through this same conflict. It's why workers are sometimes pressed into reactionary positions like opposing self-checkout lanes. Capitalists decide to deploy the technology in a way that is worse for the workers. Technological progress could be liberatory. Technology could be used to make workers' lives better, like working less, if workers were in charge of the organizations in which they worked.
