Workers in corporations increased - stealth change (Golden Rainbow)

Some corporations have experienced a 1200 or so increase in workers at 225 effectivity. The corporation types almost seem random, as they cover all areas of corporations. Oil, Gasoline, electronic components, AA missiles, books & newspapers, etc. all increased. While Luxury Goods, Electric Power, household products, construction, etc. did not.

Tom Willard posted just yesterday in one of these threads, that workers per corporation were DECREASING over time. And yet, they are now INCREASING.


Prices did not drop that I can see (except ammo). Salaries did not drop (increased actually, due to more workers).


This is one more way for W3C to further erode profitability in this game, and further cause WORKER SHORTAGES.

Tom, care to explain the reasoning of this latest change?

Q

Found the relevant quote:

To try and solve the shortages, we have in recent months reduced the average number of workers needed in a corporation and the number of corporations world wide increased from around 460.000 to close to 500.000.


So now you wish to jack them back up instead, and kill profits even further for corporations.

To be fair, HLW requirements have decreased slightly amd LLW requirements increased.

If this remains, or trends in the same direction, it will be a positive developement towards fixing or alleviating the HLW deficits.

Further, some of the upper management types were reduced as well. I just got a large spike of reserves.

Yes, but it will continue to cripple our corporation profitability even more, since overall salaries increased.
