Yes, Marten's personality is evolving but that does not mean that it's any less difficult for an anxiety-prone person to be placed in an uncomfortable position.

"There is a female Librarian that is as high as shit all the time, a MALE librarian with the education prowess of a street rat, and an AnthroPC that can throw testicles from it's vajay-jay. WHAT KINDA COLLEGE LIBRARY IS BEING RUN HERE?!?!"

The obvious answer is one that values the bottom line over most other considerations. I'm betting that Marten and Momo are cheaper to hire.
However, the fact that Tai got high when she knew they were coming in and assigned Marten to them was probably a way of putting them off that library so that she can keep Marten and Momo on the payroll, and run the library the way she wants to (rather than be questioned all the time). Furthermore, if the internship remains vacant and/or she can put someone she wants in it, there's less chance that the new person would replace Tai.

You're right -- it could be a "weird hazing ritual", as in Tai making sure they're the "right" kind of people (or AIs) to work under her management style, or else be chased away and leave her to do what she likes. And there are many RL offices with conventionally "normal" managers who feel that interns are a bloody nuisance that distracts them from running the place the way they normally do ("Dammit, we just lost the conference room we used as nap/gameroom just to have somewhere to sit these kids...").

Suddenly Marten reminds me of Jon Arbuckle.

Is that the US version of the word, or the UK version?
Throg:
Yes, you do need an MLS -- master's of library science -- to really run a library.
These interns remind me of the grad student interns we've got in our own office. Ready to take on the world, stars in their eyes, not aware of the kitchen sink of humdrum boring office work about to fall on their heads.
On a side note, though, MLS is an in-demand degree -- or rather MLIS, library and information science. What was used for shelving books is, apparently, broadly applicable to arranging information across quite a variety of fields; and these days it's all about Big Data.
On a side side note: damn Jeph had a good time doing the shading on the redhead's hair in Panel 3.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
It's just as likely Tai is sitting in her office, watching the security cameras and laughing her head off.
