Fastest Promotion Ever

[Keoni]

So I created a new sim, sent him off to the military base to get a job. Next day he goes to his very first day of work. The instant -- the very instant -- he arrives at work I get a notice about an explosion and he helped save everyone from a fire. He was immediately promoted and left work.

And he doesn't even have the "lucky" trait.

Welcome to our Forum.

Was he working on the "work hard" tone? That's when this promotion happens to me.

It can happen in the military career with one of the random events you get while at work.

I've seen it happen before, but it's just the fact that he just walked in the door for the very first time and then right back out again that amused me. Usually I don't get that sort of thing until the end of a day late into the career when I'm already set for a promotion anyway.

Just for that, I'd march him down to city hall and change his name to, "Max McButtkicker" or some variation thereof. That's awesome!

I was promoted to Power Broker in a similar situation. The same message of "preventing a corporate takeover" occurred but I was never promoted until I pranked someone.
