See? Easy. Work Proles until the "JCs" can't extract any more work from them.
Only problem is, "JCs" don't want old phartz doddering around the office or plant. Younger people are stronger, and faster, have more stamina, without a lot of downtime for repairs. That's way retirement was invented, to make it easier for the "JCs" to shove old, less productive, geezers out the door.
