Rules:
#1. Here's how it works:
I randomly selected 18 (9 male, 9 female) employees, or contestants, to work in a virtual
office together for an imaginary company. Each week they are given a "job
assignment" made up of a task to complete, a question to answer, and a topic to
comment on. Their performances in these 3 categories will be posted each Monday and the
voting process will begin. Each week someone will be fired (2 people for the first 4
weeks) until there's only 1 remaining employee who will be named CEO.
I assign tasks that the employees can do at their convenience, obviously I don't make them
perform tasks while at their real job. The employees must keep in touch with me when asked
and send me all required info as soon as they can. All employee weekly information and
task scores will be posted on their "bio" pages as well as their votes for
employee termination from each week.
The voting will consist of both the "employee" votes as well as votes sent in by
you, the ishouldbeworking.com visitors. Each will count for HALF of the final vote for
employee termination. After each voting period, each employee's termination vote % will be
posted so everyone can see the results.
We begin the contest with the office divided into 2 departments of 9 people each. One
employee will be released from each department for the first 4 weeks (2 terminations),
then the departments merge into 1 corporate task force and it's every man and woman for
themselves.
Also, each week 1 lucky employee will be granted a free day off to be used on the day of
the voting. Since they are excused from the meeting, they won't be able to be fired that
week.
Once our imaginary company has only 2 employees remaining, the winner will be the employee
that is voted to be CEO by the board members (made up of the terminated employees and all
ISBW visitors).
#2. All voting results are final. In the unlikely event of a tie,
both contestants will hold their jobs and an additional firing will be added the following
week. There will be no complaining, flaming, or other disruptions if you get terminated.
If this occurs you will be banned from the contest completely and unable to vote.
#3. There will be no cheating or helping contestants in the event that
you know one of them. If anyone is caught cheating they will suffer consequences that I
will determine and it won't be nice. This is a fun contest and I expect all contestants to
follow the rules and play fair.
#4. All contestants agree to allow their required information to be
posted online during the contest. I won't post your last names to avoid possible loafing
incrimination. If your form is not filled out properly and completely you won't have a
chance to participate.
#5. This is my second time running this contest but if I mess anything
up, forget to do something, or something has to be changed during the course of the
contest, I'll do things as best as I can to make everyone happy and keep things fair. Hey,
what do you expect? I'm as big a Slacker as you.
Thanks for your support and participation!
