Management Material
You're a mess. Weasel your way from the mailroom to the corner office. Stay buzzed, dodge every real task, steal the credit and convince Synergex Holdings you're a rising star.

A day at Synergex
From the morning commute to Friday's performance review. Click any picture to see it full size.
Fail upward
Every day starts hung over in Maple Hollow and ends wherever the night takes you. In between, you have eight hours to look busy, keep your buzz in the sweet spot and stay off HR's radar. Every Friday is a performance review, and every promotion brings a new desk, a new boss and a story mission.
The sweet spot
A little takes the edge off and makes you charming; too much and the whole floor can tell. Hangovers, withdrawal and crashes are part of the job.
Don't get caught
Coworkers, HR and security notice the smell, the red eyes and the third bathroom break. Three write-ups and you're out.
Look like a star
Do the work, delegate it, bribe the intern, steal the report off the printer, blame someone, or just look busy when the boss walks by.
Office politics
Priya does the work for favors, Kyle can be bought, Tasha talks, and Chad from sales wants your job.
The actual work (ugh)
Office tasks
Mail sort, spreadsheets, printer jams, the server room, slide decks, customer calls, expense reports and surviving the meeting. Being buzzed changes how each one plays.
Drive to work
Drive from your driveway through town to the tower lot. Cops patrol; a rideshare costs money and time.
Happy hour
The Copper Tap, the liquor store or straight home to bed, which saves the day. Tomorrow's hangover depends on tonight.
