Cute animals. Terrible corporation. A satirical office simulator and story-driven management game: be the boss of a team of animal coworkers, and answer to a worse one. Any resemblance to your actual job is purely coincidental, and has been escalated to HR.
Welcome to the Farm, where every animal matters (it's on the poster), every voice is heard (on one platform) and every quarter ends in calibration. A management sim in which you are, regrettably, management.
You start as a fox engineer reporting to a bear. Get promoted to manage four coworkers and, if the dashboard stays green, make director. Twelve quarters, one career, and every choice comes back in a follow-up meeting.
🐢 YOUR TEAM IS PEOPLE, NOT HEADCOUNT
A turtle keeps calling in sick, and nobody will tell you why. Your best engineer is a rabbit who's easy to overlook. A raccoon has a nose for visibility. An otter can't afford to lose this job. Walk the floor, Actually Listen in 1:1s, defend your people, or open a Performance Improvement Theater plan. Your political capital is on a budget. So is your patience.
🦉 YOUR BOSS RAN THE NUMBERS. YOU ARE THE NUMBERS.
Every career rolls an executive: an owl who sees everything on the dashboard and nothing off it, a heron who grades on a bell curve, or a walrus with three phones and a moonshot due Friday. Hit your OKRs, survive calibration, and find out what you'd trade for a good review.
📅 BEST PRACTICES, AS SEEN IN REAL LIFE
Schedule Mandatory 8 AM Standups. Book a Four-Hour Career Alignment Sync. Present the team's wins upward, crediting the team or, well, yourself. Or try something truly disruptive: delete the recurring invite and log off at six.
🍕 PERKS AND RECREATION, BECAUSE FACILITIES HAD BUDGET LEFT
• Buy perks from the Facilities catalog and watch them land on the pixel office floor: a Nap Pod (twenty minutes of horizontal synergy), Kombucha on Tap (the tap is in the job ad, the raises are not), an Indoor Slide (used in the recruiting video, and twice by Legal)
• In crunch, the ping-pong table becomes a very expensive shelf. Pizza is not a raise.
• Champion, shield your team from, or pilot the Strategic Initiative of the Quarter: AI-First Everything, Return to Office, Agile Transformation 3.0, Unlimited PTO…
• Ship on launch day, where four reviewers score your project and leadership reads only the dashboard. Green in the deck, red with customers? Congrats, it's a watermelon.
• Get stack-ranked against six peer managers at calibration. For discussion purposes only.
• Win the annual awards for whoever presented, looked most exhausted or had a green dashboard. Engraved on a plaque, forever
• Hire through noisy interviews. Ask how many golf balls fit in a 747 if you must. Candidates can say no.
💘 OFFICE ROMANCE AND OTHER CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Fall for a coworker over coffee that's definitely not about the roadmap, then keep it professional, keep it secret, or keep it until it's on the grapevine. The scandals write themselves: rumors, a deal that's slightly too good, and a paper trail with your name on it.
🧾 THE COMPANY MEASURES. PEOPLE REMEMBER.
Events tell you "Because in week 3 you…", and your career ends with two records: the official one, and what people remember about you. Finish as an Exceptional Leader, Respected Middle Manager, Political Survivor, Burned-Out Idealist or Corporate Monster, or find one of six story and early endings (in one, Security is very polite about it). Plus 40 badges, 20 corporate achievements and a daily attendance streak, with PTO days, because we're not monsters. Unless you choose to be. That's an ending too.
