[DMIHumanResources]

Dear Employees,

Here is a rundown of what is going to happen during and following the launch of DMI 3.0 tomorrow:

1. Tomorrow at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET, we will be rebooting the DMI Forums. This means that everyone will be released from their branch forums and the Regional Manager Forum. As you know from last year and from our recent memos, everyone will be starting DMI 3.0 as a Temp and not in a branch. Branches and Regional Managers will not come into play for the first few weeks of DMI 3.0. IMPORTANT NOTE: While your branch and RM forums will be gone temporarily, they will remain intact and everything will be as you left it when you eventually return to them.

2. The boards will re-open before the new DMI 3.0 site is live. We encourage all employees to use your branch's "Branch Recruitment" thread to congregate with your former co-workers while your branches remain closed for these first few weeks. This will also give everyone an opportunity to visit other branches if you are considering switching your affiliation this year.

3. We will post a memo and send out a newsletter to all DMI employees as soon as the new site goes live. You will then be able to go back to your profile, see your desk (and all your saved items), check out the Latest NEws on the site, and see your first task assignment.

4. For all Regional Managers from DMI 2.0, over half of you will be retained in DMI 3.0, thanks to your stellar Performance Reviews. For branches whose managers are not retained, a vote will occur in the first week that the branches re-open to decide on the new managers. More details with be forthcoming. We realize that RMs are anxiously awaiting their results so they can get organized for DMI 3.0, however we want to emphasize that these first few weeks without branches have been set aside specifically so everyone can get re-acquainted with the new site and focus on having fun. Real team-building tasks will of course start up once we have solidified our new employee base, i.e. employees with a proven track record over the first few tasks of 3.0, who we know will be an asset to whatever branch they choose to join once they hit that Sb $2000 mark.

5. Summer Splash winners will be announced on the homepage and here on the Forum tomorrow. All employees who completed the Summer Splash tasks will be awarded a new, Limited Edition desk item not currently available in the Store. Expect that desk item to be delivered in the first week of DMI 3.0

What's a "rundown"?

Thanks, DMIHumanResources, for some information.

[JadeCorsett]

AHHH! Finally some news! Thanks for the info OLC.

I hope our employees don't get turned off by having to use the main boards to communicate to other branch members.

[JadeCorsett]

This 2,000 mark scares me.

Me too Jade!

[JadeCorsett]

The 2,000 SBs thing will get rid of a lot of troublemakers, ie; bad clones, one-time sign-oners, etc.

[adimike55]

Now, to figure this out.

[adie8080]

I can't wait to get started. The waiting has been excruciating.

I think this is a great solution for that, too!

Did anyone notice that the Meet N Greet threads are closed. Do you suppose OLC actually meant the Branch Recruitment threads?

Yes, but 3.0 likes to play hard to get. She's more appealing like that and she knows it.

[Andynard23]

[adimike55]

Yeah, I think she means the BRANCH RECRUITMENT THREADS, which will soon resemble Wrestlemania,

I dunno, maybe we're supposed to make a thread for our branch in the Meet N Greet subforum.

[JadeCorsett]

I imagine it to be like the mixer threads where everyone fought for theirs to appear on the DMI Board Index.

[JadeCorsett]

OLC, will the 2,000 SB mark qualification continue all season long for newcomers after everyone is in their branches, or is this measure just for the start of 3.0?

[adimike55]

I would hope that that base continues throughout the year.

[KylaMargaret]

woohoo! some answers!

this sounds like it'll be fun!

bring it on!

Me too. That seems like a lot to get a position in the branch.
