We urgently need OfficeSim version of this.



It already exists and it's fabulous: https://pippinbarr.github.io/itisasifyouweredoingwork/


I've never been so simultaneously entertained and annoyed in my life.


Thanks, I hate it :>


Office-Politics-Sim.

Along with an ML training pipeline where you can train the figures in the sim to behave similarly to certain people in the office and a prediction phase where you can ask "what if"-s type of questions :)


Read the link in the top comment. It exists. https://youtu.be/mujgvUsO7w8


“I’ve heard that there have been complaints about my interpersonal skills”.

Looks like this worker needs some training!


I think the most important part of this would be an ML model that generates new office jargon on a regular basis. It seems like this should be easy, since it's mostly just remixing existing language in impenetrable and quasi-meaningless ways.


Do you work at Wework ?


Of course not,but I do think that a lot of people would benefit from having a better understanding of how a company, especially a large one works,as for a lot of people it's very similar to what those in the refinery were feeling like.


Job Simulator is a thing actually, VR game.

There's also Human Resource Machine if you like programming games.

And Shenzen I/O gets you that dank working-in-an-office vibe with e-mails, Solitaire, and an employee handbook.


Those examples are very very different types of games than what is being discussed here.


I've been playing the shit out of Human Resource Machine and its sequel-of-sorts 7 Billion Humans recently, they're really fantastic games. Basically ASM with cute graphics.
