Can't tell which employee to give chair to

[Kishabub]

I have a Web Development Agency with around 20 employees, but whenever one asks for a chair like a Stump Mesh Chair, I can't find where the employee is sat, therefore I can't satisfy their demand.

This needs to be fixed better in-game, but the best workaround I've heard is to give that employee a brightly colored uniform to identify them!

If all your desks are full, simply un-assign them from the current time in the schedule and you can find the empty desk.

this complicates things if the employee in question is in logistics because it clears all orders for them, happened to me :D
What David said should work well

lol what. the post is about Web Dev.
Also still works for logistics if you don't have 'apply to all day's' selected on the schedule.

it clears the delivery orders for the whole warehouse the logistics manager is managing.
any other worker should be fine but I wanted to mention this because depending on the complexity of your deliveries you could lose a lot of time to this method

Oh, that's a pretty good idea! Thanks for the help

I use different "decoration" for tables for example mouse pad (twice), square planter, planter 01, planter 02. In the schedule it says what this computer has as accessories. It makes thing little bit easier, but yes it requires time to get it right :) all my businesses (except HQ off course) are on 21 hour schedule. 21 hours gives me opossibility to use 3 full timer employees at one station during one day. This way every full time employee has 49/50 working hours week. I found this way to be the most effective. I also usually sit 3 of these employees to the same location to save costs (although it does not matter with 400K USD daily income) :D meaning when I get the employees wanting better chair or better table I let them sit at one location - employee 1 covers 3-10, employee 2 covers 10-17 and employee 3 covers 17-24 :)

i had the same problem but if you go to shedule you can see which employee is at what desk but if you hover your mouse to the desk next to the emloyee you can see a pop up that states xhat desk and chair that station has so simply reaasign the employee to a station that has the desired combo
and no it does not help to have an hr dude cos he does not seem to grasp the fact that a 4 day week exists

That's also a good idea. I knew about the hovering to see the desk items but I, for some reason, didn't think to do that

I don’t have any web developers yet but with the desk situation, I normally just remove the computer and then look at the schedule to find which one it is.

Thats not a bad idea, but it is not that good with the HQ staff (HR, logistic manager, purchasing agent) relocating him to a different workstation cancels the contracts or at least removes assigned employees from the HR so you have to reassign them.

I normally train everyone to 100 before even putting them in the position and by then the demands are all unlocked.

Its a mess when u have 12 HR managers...there should be name signs to each desk

Personally I just save enough to give them all the best before I put them in.
Except for PCs, I don't actually know if there are tiers for those.
