The hierarchy under communism is ultimately under a population at large, treated equally, like a democracy. The benefits of automation, wage cuts, job reduction, and so on are spread around evenly, as opposed to only benefiting the decision-maker (owner) under capitalism. It becomes everyone's job to reduce waste for everyone's benefit.
That's 'pure' communism though. Most versions of communism shrink the pool of responsibility to the workers of each industry, usually because the population at large has no idea how a specific industry works, and the benefits accrue to the rest of society through taxation.
Basically if every firm in an industry was part of a single, massive worker-owned co-op with government security against foreign competition it would be mini-communism.
