Pathfinder Unchained Profession Changes

[BlackOuroboros]

So I really dig the idea behind the changes to profession, which makes it a useful skill and makes running a business easier then the Downtime system, but the execution seems to be kinda wonky. For example, there was one thing that made zero sense to me: the maximum employees column. I understand that for each employee you have above the minimum means that you can spend 25% less of your time actually running the business, so why would you every have more then 4? Medium businesses can have 5 extra employees and Large businesses can have 10 but I can't figure out why you would want that?

Yeah, because of the labor force rules, it seems like you would be better off just having a bunch of small businesses rather than ever going up in size. There's also no reason to ever hire skilled employees since they don't seem to enhance your profession check.

The number of minimum and maximum employees would work if each reduced the amount of work time by 5% rather than 25%. As things stand there is no reason to ever hire extra employees for a medium or large business.

My character is planning on having the max number of employee's since... his business simply needed more employees. Some to do crafting, some for R&D, two for being assistants, etc.
