With the formula this might help people understand it abit better cause before you could take it as deviding your total job stats before checking to see if they are over double the stat cap.

H = Primary Stat (0.5*Secondary Stat), IF H > (2 * Stat Cap) then, H = (Stat Cap * 150) / 100 ELSE, IF H > Stat Cap then, H = ((H - stat cap) / 2) stat cap.

Also if you want I have Excel Spread sheets.

My Job Stat Calculator - http://putstuff.putfile.com/54161/4921235 - Or if that one doesn't open in your excel yours is probably out of date, try this exported version - http://putstuff.putfile.com/54168/2462686 - Click the "next page" link three times then download it. - Just input your Primary Stat, Secondary Stat and your Stat Cap and it will tell you how much your stats make up in the total stats column and to the left of that how much of these stats effect the company you're in. - P.S. This requires Microsoft Excel.

I'll do up a html one sometime soon if too many people don't have Excel.

Other then that if you have any questions at all don't hesitate to mail me.

@ Su, that all depends on how much cash you're willing to spend and if you're active enough to run one of the lesser ones, I found the higher the price, you don't have to do as much e.g. ordering in new shipments.

But I spent $300,000,000 to get my cruise line agency.

everybody keeps saying that there efficency is dropping well me and my freind have discovered that if my company is pulling in 10 k profit a day and i pay 5 staff members 2k each that will equal 10k pay out a day which means slowly ur efficiency will go down but if i woz to pay my staff say 500 - 1000 a day then my efficiency will stay at roughly in the 90's and everything would b fine........... there are alot of people with companies who are paying more out on wages than the company is earning and thats why there failing

as director ... do we get any job stats increment?

One of the company specials is revive altought i do not know if that only counts for directors
I would love to hear the second soon

I am afraid that is totally wrong. The company i am in, has 0 effiency and the wages are give out is about 60% of the profit. Other Companies I know of are in a similar situation and give out different amounts of money. It is as said in the tutorial; based on the staff room size versus number of employees. Money has nothing to do with it what so ever.

I can also confirm that what Master Nemesis said above is wrong. We tried lowering the wages and efficiency has not increased.

Well what is a good way to get your popularity up.....i have 100% everything but popularity its at 1% i have a advertisment going but i just cant seem to get it up......what should i do to get it up??

If your employees are inactive, then your efficiency will drop rapidly

I can also vouch the the info from Nemisis is wrong. My company had 5 employees whose wages were 50% of the profit. We had the largest staff room possible and still the efficiency stayed at 0% for over a month. I tried adjusting wages, changing peoples positions, hiring a couple of better people with high stats and nothing worked.

I'd like to echo raiderrob83's question on how to raise Popularity

Due to alot of people E-Mailing/Mailing me I decided to slightly redo my excel spreadsheet and host it at fileplanet.

The most up-to-date file is hosted here:
http://www.fileplanet.com/180446/180000/fileinfo/

If you have tried opening the above file and and Excel cannot perhaps try this download instead, it is a resave of my Job Stat Calculator for those with an older version of excel.

Universal Job Stat Calculator?:
http://www.fileplanet.com/180447/180000/fileinfo/

Unless I re-educate myself again on trying to figure out how to do a html calculator I'll just take the easy way out of it and make an executable Job Stat Calculator.

Hopefully I will commence work over the next day or so and have it done shortly.

I was going to just make a standalone calculator but it's a pain have to flick back and forth and work out each employee's efficiency.

So I was going to add a webbrowser into it to, more then likely I won't be adding a url bar cause I can't be bothered adding any protection against html exploits in websites so basically the default loading page will be www.torncity.com and as long as torncity stays a safe website without and html exploits (Why the hell would Ched wanna exploit in the first place?) then everything will be fine for that.

I was also asked to add some more spaces so you can do all your employees at the one page, if I can remember my programming then I might even get the job stat calculator/browser to pull all your employee's stats from the manage page and plop their details in for you.

If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to contact me.

i just read all the comments about comanies but i have 2 questions.
1. Is it really true that inactive employees are not helpfull?
2. How do i get my car dealership to move up to reating 2/5 ?
i have a car dealership for quite a long time, and i make about 100k-200k a day. (not profit but income)

if anyone has an idea or interesting info, plz mail me or respond on the forum. thnx

HI my Efficiency is a 12% but my environment is at 100% im lost to what other factors r makein my Efficiency so low is it because their is 2 many other candle shops so their is a high competion for each of them or some thing if that is the case how do i get my Efficiency to rise again as day by day im loosein more and more money :)

I have a floral shop. Yes, inactive employees hurt your company. As long as they log into torn city 1 time a day, it helps. Also, I always have 100% efficiency unless my advertising campaign has ended...and then it drops like a lead balloon. Hope this helps.

Oh, in addition....If you are having a hard time getting sales/customers....check your prices. If you are marking your prices up say 600%, your going to have issues with only getting a few customers a day. If you only mark your prices up 2.5 times the price you pay for stock, you'll see a significant increase in customers. I pay $4.00 per rose, and I charge $9.00. My company just recently went to 2/5, and it's only around 42 days old. Also, make sure you train your employees. I keep a list of my employees in the order of them joining the company. I start with the first employee and work my way down to the newest, then start over. You have to have more salespeople/dancers/florists/etc (depends on what your company is, the main employee type) than any other type. I have 2 cleaners, and the rest are florists (I have 14 employees including myself). If anyone needs any help, feel free to message me...my username is the same on TC. :-)

Can i be director of my company and employee in another one?

TCB: We haven't tested this ourselves, but seeing as each position (director & Employee) counts as a 'job', you wont be able to have two.

What does the director get, as far as working stats go?

Also, can you own a company and leave it empty to go to another job without it being deleted?

Eficiency increases with training if it drops it's because you are not training your staff

My sports company is now for 331 day old (rating 3/5) and average 100% Efficiency when my staff log on daily.. i sack them if they have been off for more than a week. I get 3 trainings a days and i use that on the lower level players.
The only thing is i cannot get my popularity above 3% unless i run a cheap campaine.. then it goes to 4%.. there are only about 40 other sports companies, so i am not sure what to try next to get this popularity level up higher.. any suggestions..

buy the expensive advertisement every week

I been quiet for a long long time. and i will now help you out. As you can see i was one of the first companies to turn 5/5 and the secret is easy.
- Dont spent cash on ad's waste of cash.
- Hire active players. the more they log on per day the better. What good is having a worker who doesnt come to work? This will keep your Eff % high.
- Train your weakest link. You want as many players as you can over the stat cap.
- Get the largest staff room you can afford.
- Put most of your workers in teh positions that make cash. Who cares about bouncers? not like your gonna get sued!!!
- Popularity so far in my eyes is a junk stat. it is 100 divided by all the same companies in that field. who cares? it has no effect on your daily profits.
- Spend money on your company. i put in my strip club close to 110 million dollars. it is now 354 days old and been 5/5 for over 100 days. i make about 350k a day. paying my workers 150k and training is 50k. making me 150k a day. doing the math that would mean i need about 2 years to break even just from that. BUT. the 5/5 bonus is high heels, which i make a pair every 100 days and that earns me 15 mill each time selling em. so look at what your bonuses are and use those job points!!!!

its says "The director is ideal for those with extremely high work stats"

what would be considered extremely high work stats?

How many times can a director give training to one person per day?

TCB: Five times (I think)

How do you make ur company level up(rating wise)

I have just strated a company, currently i only have 1 employee but how come theres only 2 trains instead of 5? Is it because i have only 1 employee?

does director's working stats affect the company in any way?

@ yukivideo, you get 1 train each day (for a 1/5 rated company) and can hold up to 5.

Hey, my popularut is at 0 in my car comp, is there any way of increasng this without the add campaign because my comp is not selling anything

whats the best prices to put on a candle shop to start it off? thanks

Is it possible for a company to go bankrupt or something, or can it be used as an unlimited safe of sorts for spare money?

if you erase your company will you get your money back

TCB: No.

i have a company, i earn around 20k a day and i pay out roughly 10k to my employees so 10k prof a day and i have a few people with 10k endurance and about 3-5k intell which means about 11.5-12.5k out of the 15k stat cap, but even still, my efficiency is 0% and has been for like 80 days . . . can someone tell me how i fucked up? lol i own a theater

@tozik
u need to train one of your employee once every one or two days.

hey tcb.
how do you get the rating of the company up???
i have 12 employee's, and i just started an expensive adverstisement.
they all are at 5 star effectivness, so when or how does the rating go up??????

hey all, i was wondering, when in a theater, what is the best prices to charge for the tickets and the binoculers?

thanks

it seems like if You train in the gym than sometimes your efficiency goes down

i belive you have to try to have a full happy bar for most the day or your efficiency will indeed drop a bit

i have a company for sale or swap in the comnpany.

i think there should me a place where we can sell all of our comapny or sell shares in out company in the city.

good idea?

Can my company go in debt??

? if i have 10 people in my company ( a 1* theater) can i only train 5 people a day? this seem a little unfair i would think you should be able to train each staff member 1 time a day. thanks for any help.

i just buy a company from someone..
but my problem is, i have a staff, i did an advertising campain..
but my profit still 0..
my costumer also 0..
can someone help me..
plzzz help me...
im still new...

ok so im still a bit confused on what exactley changes the company from a
1 star to a 2 star
then to a 3
then from 3 to 4

what makes it change to a higher rank ??

You have to be patient. The companies gain the next star rating when it hits the experience trigger. The companies are like everything else, it's got it's triggers on getting to the next star.

When you embark on owning a company make sure you are patient and hire good employees. Make sure employees are active and drug free. I made a rate 1 go to a rate 3 and its all about being active and having active employees.

I just want to ask two question.

1. Now i want to train my employees but i can only train 1 employee per day(1/5) . I have enough moeny to train my employees. Is any idea about that, please answer me.

2. I bought Candle shop last week and i have 10 employees in my company. My company rank is 1 and i want to reach next rank. How to do for that? How long am i need to wait for next rank and what should i do?
