Adminned at 18 Jan 2022 04:43:09 UTC

Make a new rule called Reward:

Each Employee has a stat that is publicly tracked called money.

Change the last step in the subrule Sales from “ Increase the company budget by the box’s value multiplied by the profit margin.” to

Increase the company budget by the box’s value multiplied by the profit margin cut in half and add the other half to the Employee who sold the box’s money.

Add the following step to the subrule Research & Development, after the step “Decrease the company budget by the research cost.”:

Increase the Employee’s money by the price of the material doubled.


Add the following step to the subrule Manufacturing, after the step “Decrease the company budget by the value of the box.”:

Increase the Employee’s money by the cost of the box doubled.

In the subrule Sales change “An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they belong to the Sales Department. As a Weekday Action, an Employee may sell a box by performing the following atomic action” to

An Employee may only perform actions described in this subrule if they belong to the Sales Department and if they have not done so in the last 5 hours. As a Weekday Action, an Employee may sell a box by performing the following atomic action

I feel like the wording for paying the employee that sold the box is a little clunky.

I"m for this if that gets fixed though, or if other people don’t think it’s a problem.

I like this, but it would probably be good to phrase it like “Each Employee has a number called Money which is publicly tracked”—numbers have some anti-scam guardrails already set up in the appendix (default to 0, can only be nonnegative integers, etc), but stats do not.

against I feel like this is duplicating Winklevi, which also sets out a mechanism for Employee rewards and incentives.

I would withdraw this proposal but I don’t think there is any harm in keeping it out.
