Your schedule is Saturday to Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are days off. A new game begins at the beginning of a Saturday.
VTO OFFERED — AtoJ
Volume is low today. Voluntary Time Off is offered for today: take the day off, unpaid. Declining or ignoring this costs nothing. The offer expires at the end of the day.
Calendar
WORK = scheduled shift (Sat–Tue). OFF = day off (Wed–Fri). PAYDAY = Friday. outlined day = the game's current day. Extra shifts and accepted VTO change a day's plan and are labeled in words.
Pick up extra shifts?
You're in your days off. Extra shifts pay the overtime (VET) rate — 1.5× your hourly wage. Full shift = 10 hours, partial shift = 5 hours. You can hold up to six extra shifts in a week.
Extra shifts this week: 0 of 6

Packages are identified by both code and shape, so no task depends on color. Supply stock is labeled with words and large icons. A starved station automatically stops the belt and deducts points until you restock it.
Belt codes in plain words: IND9 is the north chute. ITC7 is the central chute. SCK2 is the south chute. A striped package always means Problem Solve.
DAY OFF MINI GAME SELECTION
No warehouse today. This is the other half of the job: home. Each activity can be played once today, costs a little of the day, and helps you start your next shift rested. Work games are not in this menu — they stay under WORK DAY FREE PLAY.

Building map
North is up. The layout is generic and stylized, not a copy of a real warehouse.
Entrance, break room, Man Sort, and most work are in the north. Inbound is west on the left. Outbound is east on the right. The south side is mostly open.
Safety training
A real forklift safety training video covering inspections, stable loads, pedestrians, safe operation, and shutdown.
The video is independently produced and OSHA-aligned. The linked eTool is official OSHA guidance. In the real world, video alone does not replace workplace-specific training and evaluation.
Pay growth
The raise schedule is real inside this game. Inflation has not been invited to the meeting.
Current hourly rate Starting rate$20.00
Pay stubs
Upcoming bills
A realistic single-adult budget: weekly groceries plus the regular four-week bills. Surprise costs still arrive without warning.
Break Permit
The little kiosk by the time clock prints one paper break permit. It lives on this page for this visit only. Show it in the break room and the break room leaves a quiet stamp on it.
No permit printed yet this visit.
The show button works while the break room screen is open. There is also a show button right on the break room screen itself.
Stamp of the Day
One big rubber stamp, one new word every day. This page is the stamp spot for this visit: stamp today's word into your notebook, once a day, and flip through what you have collected.
Today's stamp word is being read off the stamp.
No stamps collected yet this visit.
Binders
The lobby binder shelf, on this page for this visit only. Borrow one binder at a time and mind its due date card. Nothing here is stored.
Three binders are out on the shelf today.
The shelf rotates. Very Important Binders and Binders We Found both pass through here, along with the rest of the catalog.

Jobs you have learned
Calculator, Unfortunately
It works perfectly. Under every result, it also shows what that amount is in hours of your life at your wage. Unfortunately.
0
Type an amount and tap equals.
Tip Calculator, Generous
Defaults to kind, and rounds the tip up to the next whole dollar.
Enter a bill amount to see the kind tip.
Jon approves: a kind tip, rounded up, is the correct default.
Flashlight Plus
One honest big button. A soft, steady light. No strobe, ever.
The light is off.
Battery cost, in words: about one percent of the battery for every ten minutes the light stays on. Small, honest, and worth it in a dark hallway.
Notes to Self
Your notes for this visit only. The phone forgets them when the page refreshes, and says so honestly.
Break Timer
Pick a break length. While it counts down, do nothing, efficiently. That is the whole assignment.
