One more than one occasion, I've been "rockin" along thinking everthing is fine (with plenty of supplies) when suddenly my hired staff drops by 50%. Usually this is because a new president decides to bring in a corp without additional pop, or the AI for C3's does the same, and I'm one of the lower wage corps so I take the hit! This is fine, but I think the system should send me an alert so I can take preventative measures. For example the Material list shows first yellow, then red when there's a material issue.
I'm thinking of putting this up for a vote, but I'd like some feedback so I'll know of any history on this issue as well as any flaws in my thinking. |

The corp will only lose 10% and you can easily see that from the "list corporations" page.
If the game sent a message every time the work force dropped and you own 300 corporations you would have to spend a long time deleting messages in order to find one that was worth reading.
The preventative measures you could take would be relocating the corporation or raising salaries. Both take a long time and are not appropriate rapid responses. Find countries that consistently have workers or set your salaries higher than the CEOs in the country. |

Thanks RC! I agree we don't want more messages. I would prefer something like having the % hired on the "list corporation" page turn yellow a month before the staff declines. It seems to me the drop in staff is usually greater than 10%, but I'll look into that.
I appears to me that countries that consistently have workers also have CEO's with salary indices at 400 or more. Very few of my corp will turn a profit at that salary, so I can't get into a salary biding war agains the "high flyer" CEO's.
In this game thare does seem to be a "race to the top" inducing corps to increase salary. In actual internationsl trade the push is supposedly a "race to the bottom"
Thanks again for giving me you view onm this. |
