Here’s a game which one of bosses is going to be very fond of :) He always has to urge people to fill in the time sheets, because the brilliant minds in our company are constantly working at full force and well… brilliant minds and time sheets, we all know how well that goes together. It’s a known fact, in every company. I’m surprized there isn’t a contract update yet that announces ‘torture’ as a legitimate means of pressure to remind people to fill in those [censored] timesheets. Well anyway, the guys over at t-viral came up with a very funny game for Maconomy, which offers business solutions and services for professional service companies and marketing communications organizations. The game illustrates the essence of this issue:
“Catch Time – on Time” is an addictive little game where you have to make sure that your people remember to fill in their time sheets on time or you won’t reach your break-even target and that means you’re going out of business. You can choose to play it in either advertising agency or consultancy mode.
And believe you me, the advertising agency mode is very funny! Now you can see what it’s like to be ad agency CEO. Feel his pain! See how far you can take it, I stranded at level 4. Good luck.
Random quotes of the workers:
“Did Picasso ever register time?”
“Can’t the secretary do it next time?”
“I’m off to the award ceremony!”
“Let’s go to the hottest place in town!”
and the all time favorite:
“Stop micro-managing me!”
