We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious.

It depends on how precarious the current situation is. If it's a "there are still a hundred more guys like that right behind the fence" kind of situation, then maybe, although in this case, the minimum wage isn't really an incentive; they'll just stay on the basic salary for life and be fine.
But, based on my own experience, I've observed that no matter how much someone works in these kinds of grueling conditions, and no matter how badly they do it, management doesn't care; they could all burn in blue flames, and it wouldn't matter. The losses wouldn't be that great.

I suspected, but not because of "incompetence," but because the "horse" didn't have an image analogous to the "gap"...
But in general, it's absurd, of course... I didn't even immediately understand your Nanai Temple... "Spend time with the priestess"... You know, you can spend time in different ways... I initially thought it was a confessional...
