which is better?

Should I have a level 5 employee in each department or should I have multiple lower level employees? (Yeah I know they can level up, but I mainly just max out HP SP And affection then send the employee to go do only repression for 2 days) and the only time I buy extra employees is when I need to get a day done faster During core suppressions

Pros of less employees:
-Form long-term bonds
-Spread armor out easier
-Spread weapons out easier
Cons of less employees:
-Harder time suppressing big bois
-If one dies there goes 3 days of LOB points

Pros of more employees:
-Slightly more disposable
-Employees wont get lonely
-Can kill things faster (more people=more weapons)
-Can do work faster
Cons of more employees:
-No long-term bonds
-Armor shortages
-Potential weapon shortages
-People die more often

I've been going with 2 emplyoees per department each, with specialist if a local abnormality requires special attention (like an emplyoee blessed by the Knight of Despair, someone to get infected by Melting Love, etc.).

Some people on the forums suggest more, but this works out great for me.

Also, later in the game, you will find a way to recruit employees at Level IV, with all stats at III which helps you a lot with saving LOB and training time. (Also, the Training Team doesn't has its name just for show.)

Depending on the Abnormalities that the department has.

If you have difficult Abnormalities, you might want mostly high level employees.

Certain Abnormalities, like Woodsman and Scarecrow, require low level employees, so you might need more employees, who have to regularly be replaced if they get too good.

Normally I just dont touch the special bois (Music machine, woodsman, etc.) Since I can get the 100 boxes back quickly
