Being in that position for many years. Its not about they pay so much as its about the pressure to constantly be working in extremely unhealthy physical and mental way. Which takes its toll long term. Something that took me years to recover from and I'm the lucky one. Don't expect people working in factories their entire life to pick up programming/software development because their minds will be warped by the repetitive nature of all these activities, which only reinforce all their problems day to day making life even worse. All they can think about is their problems while they are mindlessly doing repetitive work. If your going to force people to live like that, and it definitely is not a choice anyone makes you might as well give them a little dignity and not treat them like a machine. Don't put insane pressures on them leading them to pee in bottles. The rate thing is evil lets be honest. If you had to program every day certain lines of code and your performance was judged based on that and how long you went to the bathroom you would go nuts too.
