People who work need jobs

Create a new Rule “Position” with the text:

Each Worker has a value “Position” tracked in the GDNT. A worker may only have 1 position, and it is tracked using a 3 letter abrieviation listed in parenthesis.  Each Position has the following:
Name: Name of the position and it’s 3 letter abrieviation.
Job: What tasks the Worker with this Position must complete.
Wage Change: The amount that a Worker’s wages are change based on whether or not that Worker completed their job.
Limit: The maximum number of Workers with this position there may be at any given time.


The possible Positions are:
Name: General Workforce (GWF)
Job: A Member of the General Workforce may occasionally add 1 Device or Variable to the Machine.  Upon doing so that Worker must post a Story Post to the main page dictating eir action, and then may increase eir Net Worth by eir Wage.
Wage Change: $10
Limit: None

Name: Human Resources Manager (HRM)
Job: The HRM may Occasionally switch the Positions of any 3 Workers, as long as one of those Workers is imself, and e has been HRM for longer than 2 Days.
Wage Change: $15
Limit: 1

Name: Quality Control Clerk (QCC)
Job: The QCC may Occasionally remove 1 Part from the Machine, and then increase eir Net Worth by eir Wages.
Wage Change:$10

Other “job” ideas include people being required to post parts or variables written using poetry (haiku, verse, or something similiar), Having someone in charge of giving out “wage increases” but doesn’t get paid as much…something along those lines.  other ideas are also welcome, just remember, we want the General Workforce to probably be at least Quorum

As far as I can see the wage change is never used here. Is that a mistake, or is the wage change intended to be used by other rules?

As a standard penalty/reward amount for example.

Wage Change would have to be instituted somehow as well, was thinking possibly with another job, but could be done with various ways, perhaps a weekly event, or accomplishing certain tasks, things such as that.

I would think jobs would be appointed and changed by the CEO. I mean, its not like I can just assign myself the role of vice president of any company I choose.

If that’s how people would prefer it, we could do that :)

Whatever the job titles turn out to be, I’d like for there to be a “management”/“labor” distinction (i.e., every job title is identified as being in exactly one of those two categories).  This will help tee up a “labor union” idea that I have.

sure thing, Labor work with the machine, Management work with the laborers…works really well with what I’ve got in mind.
