Any horrible task can be split up and thus be made more fullfillable by the human employed in the process. Lets assume for example, google found some Xenomorphs on the moon- which needed a human host to be transfered to a research lab in moutain view. Instead of having one person do it, the task will be split up. There is one doctor making sure the human hosts are fine. There is a transport pilot flying the human hosts to the moon. ... There is a grief counselor contacting the hosts familys. There is another transport pilot flying them home. Finally there is one person who designs the process, not knowing exactly what will be extracted. And of course a person who tells a nice PR-lie. Its the same distribution of organization that made Auschwitz run so well. Now repeat after me- do not be evil.

"Any horrible task can be split up and thus be made more fullfillable by the human employed in the process." I think you're onto something here but I think there is a detail you've missed - hierarchy. It's not the number of people involved that allows a a terrible process to be completed but rather the number of layers of hierarchy. Someone at the top says "just make this (outcome) happen" and if they say that to the person who actually has to carry it out, there is pushback or guilt or exposure. But if that person can, in turn, tell someone else a level below to "just make this (outcome) happen" eventually there is enough insulation (emotional, legal, etc.) that someone at the end of the chain can get the shaft. You can't really do that with a flat (absent) hierarchy.
