Leaving the following up in case captdanjou chooses to modify for his hiring party - names have not been changed.
2. All positions are to be filled with persons from the Towering Palms Society. If you wish to hire someone not on the hiring list, raise the name to a member of Board of Directors, who will consider it and make a recommendation to me. I expect we will make such decisions within 48 hours. After the first week of the bureau, we will not consider such requests.
3. Because we can't plan for players health at the time of hiring, we will likely need to change some bureaucrats positions. At the hiring party, seniors are authorized to use their judgement, ie, if Nonym is sick, but cyndi is not, Kirean may hire Nonym in cyndi's place, but should let TheMazeEcho know. If you're in doubt, ask me.
4. Because not everyone can make it to the hiring party, due to work, family, or other concerns, place-holders can be hired at the party in place of one of the names above. It is expected* that the correct persons will be hired at a lower level and the placeholders will demote, raising the person to the correct level.
(* in bureaucratese, "expected" in this context means "these things take time, and meal breaks and hookah breaks might be taken, but in the end no-one would care to be caught depriving another bureaucrat of the position he or she has earned" )
5. Positions of supervisor and below are left to the managers' decisions. Senior bureaucrats, as always, are encouraged to aid and counsel their subordinates in hiring.
6. This is a game. At work, in real life, there may be jerks. We don't need to replicate that in this bureaucracy. We are here to have fun, and to enjoy Egypt. Please be patient with and considerate to one another.
