New employees demand current employees to be fired.

[Mytikas]

I read in a pervious dev blog that this was no longer supposed to happen but after several in game days almost all of the potential hires have a demand for a current employee to be fired, and many of them demand two people to be fired. I am playing on beta 23.12 from a new game.

Same here, sometimes even the new potential wants 3 fired. Of course you can just not fulfill that "demand" since it's more of a request. I just don't hire them. Didn't know that this was not suppose to happen though. Alternatively, you can save the game just before your CEO obtains another potential. If he/she wants someone fire, reload the save and try again. This is random every time so after some 1 to 5 or more times you'll have someone more reasonable.

Hi guys,

I wasn't aware of this, thanks for letting me know!

I'll look into it right away and keep this thread updated.

Hi guys,

I just tested and unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce. None of my newly hired employees had any fire demands. I think an explanation might be that you have existing candidates from before the update that removed "fire demands" from candidates was introduced.

If this is the case, a fix would be to simply dismiss all candidates and search for new ones.

Also, I want to point out that demands can be researched while hiring. You can then hover over the demand info to see the candidates demands:

First thank you for the quick response and an amazing game.

This was a 23.12 game that I only started a few days ago. I didn't get the fire demands until several hours into the game, approximately around milestone 12 or so then all of the sudden I began to get candidates with fire demands. I have dismissed the candidates over several rounds of searching and I still get fire demands.

I have been researching demands, this is what allowed me to see the majority of my candidates having fire demands, it is rare that I get one without at least one fire demand.

I haven't played much into this save, I can try to start a new game and see what happens.

[Mytikas]

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I them stopped my CEO from headhunting and dismissed all the candidates. When I started a new round of headhunting the very first candidate wanted three people fired!

Hi again,

Nice! You sentence "all of the sudden I began to get candidates with fire demands." put me on the right track. I found the bug.

Will be fixed later today in Beta 23.13 :-)

Thanks for helping out!

Best,
Jonas

Happy to help and thanks again!

I am still getting fire demands from candidates, however the frequency of both the number of candidates demanding them and the number of two or three fire demands from the same candidate is lower.

Although they are still making this demand your fix made it much easier to hire workers.

The frequency is still the same for me.. Discovered a candidate with 3 fire demands.
This should be a popup like salary raise and not in demands.
The employee's morale should be affected if his fire demand is rejected.
Just a thought.

Damn, there was yet another bug. Sorry for the delay. I've just released Beta 23.14 and this time I'm sure it's fixed! :-)

I just had this happen in my game. I purchased this game on May 27th. I am going to restart the game and try playing from the beginning.

Hi there,

When did you see the demand? When upgrading the employee, or?

Best,
Jonas

[drjones79]

Sorry for the delayed response. When I hired on a new employee. After about 5 days in game passed. I recently had it happen again, it was again after I hired a new employee and that employee was there for about 5 days. I had updated my game to the current version and started a new game.

Hi there.

Did you upgrade the employee to a new level? The "fire demands" are only generated on level upgrades, not on initial hiring (except if you have very old candidates from before the update).
