Asceticism in the streets.

(Execs are superhumans that are just different from us, they do not need our simple pleasures.)

Hedonism in the sheets.

(Execs need to be treated well to perform well! Time for an exec retreat at a lavish location!)

I’d say at least the shamans were sticking with their vows and rules, but that assumes they never took shamanic off-sites to locations with eel flesh and fornication partners, under the guise of a vision quest.
