Something many Europeans tend to forget is that companies exist for the benefit of customers and not just for their employees and that work means exactly that: "work". It is nice to have interesting and low pressure jobs --- but a warehouse or production line is not the kind of place to look for such a job.
When you go to work for a company, at the end of the day the money you help them make must be a lot more than what they pay you. If you work your behind off and make $2000,- a month but your work produces only $1500.- in revenue then they must let you go. In the final analysis what matters is not the amount of effort a worker puts in or the stress he or she is under, it is how much profit that job generates that decides the level of pay.
