When the job requirements are so unsustainable and the safety is so sketchy that they plan for a high turnover rate, robots are the better option.
Yes, people have paid their bills because of these jobs. But I have a hard time believing that the money makes it worth the damage to their health that will follow the worker through their career. There are many other jobs like this that are better left to a machine or else lower the expectations per worker to improve working conditions
I guess there must be other facilities that are much worse, or it depends who your managers are, but when I worked at a FC I thought it was one of the easier jobs I've held.
