Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!
witch:
Yes please, just had that tonight at a birthday party. Had to keep scanning the guests for the complainers, then sic a member of the family onto the moaner with the socialise macro. At least 3 of my 7 guests complained.
Ancient Sim:
I tried this out last night with Malcolm Landgraab on his latest business lot, the 1-2-3 Gym. He had two members of staff, one persuading punters to buy a ticket (Ridiculously Expensive) and the other cleaning-up. I noticed that both the staff members were going yellow, then orange, then approaching red, but I had no option to get them to take a break. In the end, I had to unassign them, then assign them again. Is it meant to work like that? I thought they were automatically sent for breaks when they needed them. The only possible explanation is that I've just realised I didn't have Bathroom Uses You on the lot, although it's in my Downloads folder. Could that have made any difference?
Oh, is it possible to add something to this so that an individual member of staff can be sent home but not all of them? I'm sure I could do that before, but if so I don't have that option now. Didn't have it when I deleted the controller either, so maybe I imagined it.

If you don't have Bathroom Uses You, the system won't be able to locate anywhere to use the bathroom, so yes, that's a problem.

There was an option somewhere to send an employee home, and then to summon an employee. I was trying this with different employees when I noticed their little ball overhead was getting orange, and they started hitting the espresso machine. I thought, why am I paying them to drink espresso and pee when I can send them home and then call them right back and they'll be all fresh? So I did this a couple of times, and it seemed to work fine. Could something like this be built into BRY so that when an employee reaches critical energy levels, it would send them home and then summon them back automatically? That would be awesome. Perhaps it could be a feature you could turn off and on. I put showers in the bathrooms, so the only thing they can't do on the comm lot is sleep. As long as they keep up their energy with espresso or some other means, they can stay there indefinitely.
J. M. Pescado:
Well, strictly speaking, you're not supposed to be able to dismiss and immediately summon back, because ordinarily they bitch and moan about being too tired to return, or whatever. There was also a bitch and whine somewhere about them refusing to come in because you didn't pay them enough (although I've never seen it), but I think I may have overshot when trying to bypass that, too, since you can't fire their lazy asses unless you drag them in first.
Besides, the espresso actually works faster than sleep, you can refill to max energy in about 60% of the time it would take to regain it by sleep.
