I have also been accepted to the Kalamazoo branch even though I reapplied

My exciting conversation with the brick wall that is HR

[Rogi Ocnorb]

You know...
I've never watched The Office and that's probably not going to change.
But, your comments/emails are exactly what I envision as situations on the show.

definitely don't let DMI determine your decision for watching The Office - it's an absolutely amazing show!

That said, space, you should tell them that there is definitely already at least 15 people who applied to Elizabeth under the same management code, and nothing's happened with the branch. If it's indeed the 'first' to reach 15 employees, then why is there still no regional manager?

But of course, that probably won't get answered any time soon anyway

Sheesh. Drama at Dunder Mifflin!

My current branch (Clearwater -- I'm just an employee, not a manager) actually shows two managers. There's a ton of confusion over that. Most branches I've heard of have opened up outside message boards because there are so many problems with the DMI branch boards.

I love the show, and I really wish this game had been handled a bit better. I fear big fallbacks like this will discourage other shows from creating their own games, and/or discourage The Office from continuing DMI once it gets on its feet.



Lesson to learn: when you make a major player mission out of recruiting members, you should be prepared for A LOT OF PLAYERS. It feels like the numbers took them by surprise. Hence their note:

This. Is. Getting. Ridiculous.

I too applied to the Kalamazoo branch (for different reasons, though, it's my hometown), and was stuck in limbo for several days waiting for the RM to approve me (I don't think she was being malicious. She just hadn't logged in for a long time). When I was finally accepted yesterday into the branch, I was excited to see so many names that I recognized from previous outings here on UF. Sorry to hear that you're all transferring to Elizabeth.

SB, frustrating as your trials have been, I think they make sense. "Corporate" has stated that they don't open branches automatically, so even if you were the first to assemble 15 employees, Elizabeth isn't actually open yet, so when the RM from the last active branch in your queue finally woke up and accepted your Kazoo application, you were accepted there, even though you still have a pending transfer request to Elizabeth. When Elizabeth opens, that request should go through.

It's a big mess, yes, but I'm holding out hope that they'll work out the kinks. And I'm sticking with Kalamazoo for now.

Well, I'm having less problems than you guys I suppose.
I re-applied for Elizabeth just like everyone else, then got accepted to Kalamazoo. However, when I try to re-apply for Elizabeth again, I got the normal "Application sent, etc." message instead of the error.

Orders of magnitude

I think we're up around 25 employees by now, at last rushed count. Once again, DMI, you have about 5 hours to make this right*.

*While it doesn't seem like a lot of fun to issue empty ultimatums on a third-party message board, you should try it. Surprisingly fun. Oh, and I am going to make a "Welcome to the branch" video tonight, just in case.
