      cause pain-on-demand by remote control

      You can already do that. You could already do that over a hundred years ago. I think it isn’t happening (except in the case of dogs and invisible fences) simply because it isn’t very useful.

          a boss can look at their company dashboard and see where productivity is dropping

          Once the boss can do this, he would just threaten to fire the unproductive employee. That generally works better than what you’re proposing because it doesn’t require turning employees into cyborg slaves. (The hard part is actually measuring productivity when the employee is doing something that isn’t easily quantified.)
