Prizes:
ISBW Visitors can win:
Big changes for OS4. Two lucky voters will be chosen from all correct voter
entries to receive AUTOMATIC INCLUSION in the OS4 contest. That's right,
our first 2 contestants for OS4 will be chosen randomly from all correct votes we receive,
not from the registation pool. Also, I'll be choosing 5 more names from this pool to
receive ISBW T-Shirts. To
qualify, you must vote only one time per week and you must have voted for the employee
that gets fired that week. For example, if you vote to fire "John" this week and
he does end up terminated, your name will be in the drawing for the prizes. Click here to cast your vote and
enter the contest for this week.
Employees/Contestants can win:
Grand Prize: The elected CEO gets a prize package consisting of
- $100.00 cash money.
- An ISBW Heavyweight Sweat Shirt
- A permanent page on Office Survival in honor of their outstanding acheivements.
**(If you or your company would like to contribute additional prizes I'll acknowledge your
generosity with a link. Let
me know if you're interested)
2nd Place Runner Up:
The last remaining employee that doesn't get chosen for CEO will get an ISBW T-shirt and $50.00 cash.
The Other 18 Employees:
The first 8 employees to be terminated get a pat on the back. The employees who play well
enough to make it to the top 10 will receive an ISBW T-shirt.
Rules:
#1. Here's how it works:
I randomly select 18 (9 male, 9 female) employees, or contestants, to work in a virtual
office together for an imaginary company. For this contest we split the employees up to
form 3 corporations, or teams. Each week, each employee is given an "assignment"
that's 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 Monday, someone will be fired (2 people for the first 5 weeks) until
there's only 1 remaining employee who will be named CEO.
I assign tasks that the employees can do at their convenience. 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, only after the merge has been made after week 5.
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 3 companies fighting for survival in a
corporate merger. One employee will be voted out from each of the 2 teams that do
not receive Monday off privileges (2 terminations), then the 3 teams merge into 1
corporate task force and it's every man and woman for themselves.
Also, each week 1 lucky team/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 4th 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!
