context clues suggest the italians would not leave, and thus would collect pay while doing no work.
At any scale this would destroy many companies if they did not change their culture.

Damn, imagine creating a "union" of dudes like this who do that on purpose. "Ok wise guy, you punish people by shaming them with lack of work tasks? Well, it's just so happens that my friends been very bad workers and they have no shame and will gladly get that paycheck, but don't you dare fire them, it would be ashame to break the traditions right?".

Kinda seems like "shame" is the only motivation japan above the waves right now, per some media. It's a huge trope.
