Well, I had been looking close and thinking how much faster it would be going from level 3 worker to level 4, than it would from 2 to 3.

Thats why I was looking.. for level one worker there you get 1 work exp a day.. so on day nine of working there you can get promoted to two. To get to the 3rd job however, you need to be working there for 25 more days just to get enough work experience. Then from level 3 job to 4, you only need 15 days of experience... then it jumps to 50 days for the next promotion period.

So assuming you have the proper int and endurance stats already it would look like this getting promoted strictly off earning work experience

Day one - new job
work 9 days
Day 10 - Promoted
work 24 days
Day 35 - Promoted
work 14 days
Day 50 - Promoted
work 49 days
Day 100 - promoted
work 24 days
Day 125 - Promoted
work 74 days
Day 200 - Promoted

Thats just a weird pattern..

I guess we could look at it as..

A man starts out as a janitor, he slaves away at keeping the place clean, and nine days later they decide they trust him enough to handle money in this restaurant (ouch!). He works as a cashier for 25 days before they realize he hasnt been listening to the headset he's supposed to be wearing, and didnt notice the ringing or honking so they "promote" him to working the drive thru.

15 days of drive through shows the management that this boy is incompetant, and can't be trusted with the money or the quickness the drive thru demands. They decide to "promote" him to cook. He works for 50 days as the cook, flipping burgers and cooking fries like a mad man, they decided that that boy is management material! He is promoted to Assistantmanager. As an assistant manager he manages to avoid all of the work for 25 days.. he has no specific job to do, so no one to check his work. Since they've seen no mistakes (since he didn't do anything!) they decide he would make a great manager. They were wrong. He works as the manager for 75 days. The longest stint yet without promotion.. Corporate makes the call. He's such a failure that they don't want to admit it and make themselves look bad.. so the only thing they can do is give him a "promotion" to "general manager" a job which they had just made up on the spot, and that entails no actual leadership or even work for that matter. He gets his own office and is never bothered by the fact that he never gets any calls. His obvious power gives him a great deal of self-worth.. leading him to believe he's smarter than ever before.

So I guess the weird fluctuations in work experience could make sense.. but maybe a less sporadic promotion rate would be better. Smile
