The long-awaited acquisition of Imulus Technologies, previously rumored to be a DeepCo™ competitor, has finally been cleared by the International Trade Commission as good business and non-monopolistic, resulting in DeepCo™ now being able to offer much greater advancement opportunities as we work tirelessly to efficiently process our new subsidiary’s archival data. Operators will now be able to advance to new heights with expanded career opportunities in higher-level departments at competitive compensatory rates; Operators dissatisfied with compensation packages are encouraged to devote more time towards self-evaluation practices as set forth in the DeepCo™ pamphlet entitled “What Exactly Does Enough Even Mean?: Understanding Operator Valuation Expectations, Requirements, and Personal Assessment of Income Discrepancies” available upon proper submission of I-43 Informational Materials Request forms.
In light of this massive upscaling, DeepCo™ has authorized the implementation of a new Departmental Operator Of the Month module which our R&D team assures us should triple efficiency as measured by industry-standard Operator motivational metrics. Operators unable to meet this new standard of efficiency may be called in for performance review meetings and additional training. This new Departmental Operator Of the Month [D.O.O.M.] ranking will measure intra-departmental efficiencies of all Operators, and provide accolades to those who process the most data within each department. We are proud to acknowledge the hard-working Operators who go the extra mile to set an example for their peers, and wish those at the top of these intra-departmental leaderboards continued success as they dedicate themselves to their work. We hope this fills Operators with renewed vigor and pride; no additional compensatory nor reward packages have been authorized at this time.
Administrators heading the Shadow Department Project have also been granted additional funding; Operators are encouraged to report on any departments requiring additional Shadow Departments via official channels as development of automated tooling progresses.
