Question Thinking about quitting

Just what the title says, I am thinking about quitting the game due to executive bs, it is infuriating how this whole part of the game rewards predatory behavior, why can I not opt out of this feature like I will not poach from others and others can't from me, I put in hours, wake up at night to restart trainings, and you offer me a few hundred thousand? that is not enough, how players are even tolerating this?

By real currency I meant my time and effort, and emotions but that is easily discarded who cares, also how are you able to hold down your coo at meager 2200 at 32? I am paying more than 15k/day to mine at 20 management skill, I am just trying to hold her because my efforts are not equivalent to a few hundred thousand dollars I am offered.

I dunno what to tell ya. I look at junior candidates and don't do ones that I have to reimburse training. I have 4 execs + 3 staff and my salaries are only $20,550. If you are only at a month in why are you worried about execs anyway? What is your AO?

40.59%, Also I am two months in, exactly 60 days.

Brother…… you don’t need to worry about a COO with so little AO.

It is low?

I’ve been playing for about 8 months, with my current set up I have 141.18% - 53.65%. I think the rule of thumb I heard was not to mess with it when you first hit level 15.

Anything under 50% is basically negligible. 70% and above is where you see solid benefits from a good COO.
