Ok torture them into submission then. Still significantly worse than burning someone out in a modern corporate job.

  In history, was torture a preferred approach compared to treating them relatively well, considering the absurd circumstances?

    Read Huckelberry Finn, Jim was treated relatively well, however his family was sold away from him, he did not get to see his wife or daughter because it was valuable to the Widow to sell them. Finally he was going to be sold anyway, to somewhere where he would have the high probability of not being treated relatively well. To be treated relatively well as a slave was a living hell, or as it is generally called, slavery. Damn, I suppose now someone is going to complain about long working hours meaning you never get to see your family anyway.

      I couldn’t easily find info on how accurate a portrayal this particular work is, but I think using a work of fiction as historical reference requires a bit of extra care.

        I know this adds nothing to the discussion, but the level of restraint and politeness in the parent comment caused me to pause and reflect a bit.
