From personal experience, that pharmacist salary is offset by insane pressure from management to meet metrics that keep going up and requiring a fair amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the queues from overflowing.
Then you've got a 50:50 chance of a new tech being insane and or stupid because the good ones have long since burned out. They usually are union, though, so good for them.
There's a reason pharmacists in the US are starting to drop dead on the job.
I think that makes a weird sort of sense. I mean, if you're gonna pay 1 person 3x what you pay the others you kinda expect them to shoulder more of the burden. Same goes for Doctors in general and Air Traffic Controllers, the barrier to entry is exceptionally high, the pay is high to match, but the expectations are even higher
I can't speak to the union bit, but I would say most aren't in a Union in the US since most of the US doesn't have Unions. If you're in an area that has them then maybe they get a better deal.
It never makes sense to work someone to the point of burnout
It does if you are a sociopath that considers humans easily replaceable tools. Which by coincidence almost all executives and stock holders are...
True, though if all you look at is the numbers you find yourself back on the other side. At times the job of industrial engineers is to use math to attempt to talk business sociopaths out of making poor decisions just to hurt workers
Business/corporate mindset is a belief system as much as it is a rational strategy for earning money, and is arguably the lamest religion in earth.
