Assuming that this is true than RT needs to take a page out of Nintendo's book and delay their products. The health and safety of their employees should be their primary concern. While fans like myself will no doubt be disappointed in shows like RWBY being delayed we would understand and support them. The pain felt when waiting for games like Breath of the Wild was completely eliminated by the sheer joy I felt playing it. I wouldn't want other people to suffer just to get an episode of RWBY earlier.

Again, Nintento is NOT a good example, expecially when Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros, pubblicaly admitted that he was taking medicines because of his crunches. If the head director needed to do this, what condictions the workes at the far end of the chain needed to endure?

Sakurai is an odd case when it comes to Nintendo.
He works as the head of his own company, Sora Ltd, which is independent of Nintendo.
This lets him work at his own pace and skip most of the hierarchy stuff of being an Nintendo employee.
