I'm sure they could reduce that 96 hours even further under a feudal system. And dormitories? Why not simply chain employees to their workstations, as was frequently done before "safety standards" and "workers' rights" became de rigueur? This would reduce transit time and increase productivity significantly. Further, some sort of stimulus, an electrical shock, for example, could be used as an incentive for those employees whose productivity drops below a set standard. And while we're at it, why not have an on-site abattoir to dispose of employee corpses quickly and efficiently? This extra protein might be turned into a slurry, which could then become a dietary supplement that would help keep employees in good working order. And, of course, there's the added benefit of vertical integration in all of this. Seriously, what are we waiting for?
