The HLW problem is adversely effecting most every country, this I can see. So in turn this effects enterprise corps in countries that home them by creating an under-employment issue.
Some countries are obviously finding it hard to, or have given up on, correcting this problem and so I have been looking to relocate corps. The low % tax-rate countries (the ones that haven't packed their bags and left) rarely can accomodate and so to keep 100% hiring I have looked to 30% tax C3s.
Recently though, I have noticed that C3s all have huge HTE shortages, so moving any corp using these (95% of mine) is not viable.
With 800+ corps in CEOs this is becoming a royal pain. Is this latest brick wall due to the recent changes in C3 structure? More weapon/ammo corps per country to bring down military costs but not enough employees for these types of corps?
So, how do I build the new corps W3C is encouraging when they can't/don't fix the HLW problems and compound the problem with un-thought out corp building strategies for the C3s?
Answers on a postcard please...
Not so Crafty. |

Crafty,
Here is a very simple solution for you. look for countries that are on the forum asking for new corps. Then build new corps in those countries.
In many cases, those countries will buy new population or will close their own state corps to find room for your corps.
Agape is one example. If there are are not enough workers for private corps, I buy population or close state corps. |

chrysostom,
this is somewhat true, but i know of a country that bought 4mill workers and without building anything all the HW's were gone in 4 game months.
i don't think they can fix the problem without massive changes. so, just keep tweeking and that's not with meth either. |

The High Level Worker problem becomes worse EVERY WEEK.
Whatever you guys at W3C are doing, STOP IT. I'm sick of logging in and having to spend a half hour or more to FIX high level worker shortages!
24,000 is NOT enough. A better idea, is to STOP letting them drain away into nothing whenever someone tries to stockpile them.
If I was to put 300,000 HLW into one of my countries right now, the next game month, I'd have 24,000! This is ridiculous.
Do something about this. I'm going to put up an exclusive poll regarding this, maybe that will help. Though I doubt it.

Thank you Chrysostom, I think I have a handle on that 
This does not solve the problem however as ebby and Q have illustrated.
I will sign the poll and try to remain optomistic. |

Q we have to do something about it, I'm getting really pissed off with this. I've traded 2.5M LLW for ANY other workers then converted to HLW in the last 14 days and I still only have 24K. CJe will confirm, because he has taken all the LLW off me!
I have done nothing else in the game! Getting very boring.
I have a client who runs a software co. and he can't believe this ! |

I've said it before and I'll say it again in every thread that mentions worker shortages. It is GAME RUINING (not breaking). It detracts from the fun of running any kind of empire or CEO if you constantly have to deal with this issue. As a ruler of a 12 nation empire, I'm tired of having to spend my time (usually 1 full hour) solely devoted to HLW shortages. It's gotten to the point that I don't bother dealing with it because W3C hasn't given me the tools to deal with it. I used to look forward to logging into this game but now, I'd rather read the news as I know I am facing yet more shortages. I wish we simply had the power to convert LLW's into MLW's and into HLW's with NO LIMITS. |

Just to refresh the topic, I tried to highlight the additional problem of HTE in C3s.
Please look and see if this is jut me.
There are many a thread regarding HLW shortages, this is an ADDITIONAL issue.
Thankyou. CC. |

By HTE, do you mean High Tech Engineers or High Tech Executives?
I've currently have NO HTExecs in any of my countries despite having recently added population to each of them. |

Upon looking further, the chronic HTE shortage in C3s is not always down to new builds of corps using them, like home equipment = 0 hi tech peeps, but SUDDENLY the country needs 30+ K HTE. Also my salaries are way above C3 levels. So what gives here.
I see and know the HLW issues and there have been a few good ideas to remedy this, Q reports that the problem seems to be easing, so maybe W3C are doing something about it. But may I reiterate that this issue I am highlighting is a seperate one so please dont spam this thread with HLW posts.
W3C, please, CEOs need workers too. |

I have mostly seen C3's short of LLW/MLW, not HTE, and this is on KB and GR. |
| The Crafty Cockney (Kebir Blue) | Monday, February 23, 2009 - 09:03 pm
by HTE I mean the engineer.
Q, try moving a corp and using the game search for counties. Most all C3s on KB have 12K HTE max. |
