#morgan asks guda to fire nightingale and guda goes 'yeah I've been trying bc she overworks herself but she has tenure so i cant do anything'

[zeravmeta]

lb morgan has a bond line where she gets jealous and tells you that you should fire your other zerkers bc you already have her and thats enough and while i do find that funny i am immensely more tickled by the concept of guda actually going through a proper hiring/vetting process for their servants because like. ok we know for a fact that in canon servants use qp as money jalter and other characters have made mention of that more than once so servants do in fact get paid and olympus canonized ember farming as something we do, plus there is a tidbit in the zero collab where kayneth does give (forcefeed) diarmuid materials (albeit the wrong ones) as a way to increase their bond and make him stronger. also guda wouldn't let just any maniac into chaldea to help them considering that we don't ever remember summoning kiara in ooku (though they are very flexible as long as they can guarantee loyalty and kiara wasn't one of them at the time) so i wonder if all the mat and qp costs we pay to ascend them is kind of like a down payment of sorts. the average mage wouldn't really care about driving their servants to the bone but guda ultimately cares and they are def very fair about having their servants treated like people since they go out of their way to give as many of them as they can rooms in chaldea. some of the servants also do assist chaldea in canon with a multitude of functions (archer boudica and tamacat cook, murasaki runs a library, babbage edison tesla and helena are constantly improving the tech) so the idea of them actually working to earn a paycheck whenever they aren't needed by the master is actually very plausible and leads to many other questions: do servants get seniority perks and tenure? do they actually take the opportunity to negotiate their contracts? can a servant actually ask to quit their job IN chaldea? nasu you already told us that not all servants can stay in physical form and that they take turns between walking around and spirit form nasu i need ANSWERS
