  • So it seems that Billy is now a Engineer in Training :) wonder how it will go...


    New Employee Status Form
    Oooh nice, we got a keychain :))
    The Engineering Department is the heart of MMC, they are the brains behind all of the products offered by the corporation... However they are subject to the goals of the market and their superiors, the department is split up and located next to the operations areas. Thus we join Billy now working in his local MMC manufacturing plant upstairs in the offices, learning directly from some of the top designers in the company.

    As a new and inexperienced member of the engineering staff Billy is subject to the whims of the unorganized management, as such the conflict soon emerges when his immediate manager, Harriet Nance, assigns him a last minute major work project which directly conflicts with an important Engineering development seminar.

    What should Billy do?

    [1] - Delay the Work Task
    [2] - Skip the Development Seminar
    [3] - Take the Work to the Seminar to Complete it

  • Yes! Go engineers! And a desk! :D

    I'm kinda curious why Billy didn't mention that he had the development seminar when Harriet assigned him the work. I'm sure it was an oversight because she's probably busy too...but since that isn't an option, I would go for [1] - Delay the Work Task. We don't know the nature of the assignment, but as someone in training I imagine the seminar is more important, and taking the work and trying to do both would probably result in the outcomes of both being subpar. It seems to me that it's best to attend the seminar and then do the work afterwards.

  • [2] - Skip the Development Seminar

    It's all good on paper, but Billy does his research and found out the speaker isn't really that good. Sure, Billy wants to become the best damn engineering he can, but he also has to balance his career, and by completing this utmost important work, his boss might notice his dedication to the company. Who knows, maybe that'll translate into extra vacation days or better bonus next Christmas. Skimming a good engineering book over the next weekend is just as good as a seminar with bad speaker.

    From the character we got I'd assume that Billy is an ambitious employee that wants to impress his managers - therefore he should listen to his boss and do the work assigned to him.

  • Sorry to end this one a little sooner, I am getting an early night tonight... Plus most everyone who's been interested has already voted on this one...

    So it's 4 to 2 to 2, guess Billy Potato delays the work in favour of attending the seminar. :)


    The seminar provides some very useful information about the world of engineering and technology, it goes on late and finishes after hours due to a long question and answers session.

    The next day however Harriet Nance is displeased, she had known about the scheduling conflict but had hoped the new trainee would have the foresight to put the needs of the company above his own. "No matter" she thinks, as she adds a small note on his file, and heaps yet more work on the unsuspecting Billy.


    As time goes on Billy has gotten to know the other trainees and engineers quite well but their relationships have always started and ended at the offices.

    However one day, 3 of the top engineers approach him, turns out Billy lives in the same nearby town as them, and they'd like to offer him to join their carpool; where they change who drives each week...

    They don't realise however Billy only owns a two-seat car from his university days...

    Billy may choose to:

    [1] Buy a new bigger car.
    [2] Offer to pay for fuel each week instead of driving.
    [3] Decline the carpool
    [4] Suggest a car-convoy



    Just to say as always anyone who hasn't been involved can always vote too, and that if you have any questions it's always fine to ask. :) Thanks!
