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

New Limited Edition Desk Item to all who completed Summer Splash!!! Yes!! Awesome call!

Employees must reach Sb $2000 in order to join branches?



What's a "rundown"?

Thanks, DMIHumanResources, for some information.

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.

This 2,000 mark scares me.

Woo hoo!!!!!

Here's to 3.0 guys! bed time so see you all tomorrow

Me too Jade!

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

Now, to figure this out.

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.

yes finally some news,heck i just found out that HR sent emails cause they were in my spam folder for whatever reason, and it starts tomorrow.2000 is alot

ah ha a rundown finally

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.

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

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?

I would hope that that base continues throughout the year.

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.

It'll probably be done across a few weeks though, which means that tasks and affinity will be involved.

I'm guessing the first few tasks will be worth a whole lotta SchruteBucks!

OK, so it says they are closing down to reboot at 12:00/3:00 PM tomorrow, and they will let us know when 3.0 goes live. Did I miss the part in the memo that says when OLC is planning that?

I hope so! I'm really excited, can't wait for the new tasks and the mysterious desk item

I vote for the first task to be worth 12,000 SBs. Immediate ARM status!

Honestly, I'm thinking they didn't tell us when it would go live so that they wouldn't have to answer to us when/if it fails to go live when they plan for it

I would think 3.0 will start fairly quickly, to grab the people who will tune in to the season premiere.

Finally...

Yes, corrected in original post. It's been a long day.

You are correct.

Ok. I can live with that. Thanks!

I love when OLC is so direct.

I wonder if we'll all start out with 1000 SB's like we have in past just for joining...if that's the case then it won't be quite as bad earning the other 1000 to get back into our branches...

Well, folks, whatever form this takes, welcome back and welcome home. I've missed you.

Come on over to the Ft. Collins Branch Recruitment thread and play trivia or alphabet soup. In the current round of alphabet soup, we're posting the next letter of the alphabet in the form of a picture of something from the office.

2000, is a large amount but I suppose the tasks will reflect it being achievable for the regulars,I hope so anyhoo...lol

$1000 for rehiring.
$100 per week for affinity
$50-400 for the first task (is it a task or is it a game)?

We're at $2000 by the third week?

Woot!

<--- plans on new signature block this weekend, looks around for help in making something sleek, sexy, geeky and not too big.

Yeah, let's start off with the buy outs that was soo much fun last year!:D

Welcome Back 3.0 We are having a party at our local Chilis in celebration!

Oh heck no!!! LOL!!
That's the only task I couldn't complete, and I went from 4th place in my branch to 15th.

Bring on 3.0! I'm ready to play, and meet new people!!

Hello trekgirl I like meeting new people too, so it is nice to meet you

I like star trek too, very much so I wish it was still made - sigh - bring back 7of9. Maybe DMI3 will be our unimatrix zero!!!

You know you can contact me if you need any help

I can't remember if I made $2000 or not...

While your waiting for the launch of 3.0. enjoy some southern hospitality down in Louisiana. Here at the Lake Charels branch we are having a DMI 3.0 party at our local (shreveport) Chilis.
Isn't this the branch you want to join?

Yay!!! It's 3.0 Day!!! We're gonna celebrate Lake Charles style tonight!

OF COURSE this is happening at the time I have a pre-scheduled ten-day vacation with little (probably no) internet access. Ah, well; I'll hope for the best. Hooray for 3.0!

Here's a dude who has been waiting for DMI 3.0 to start:

Yes everyone will start out with $1000.

When will the Regional Managers list be established, for those who are elected to keep their position?

10pm mins till 12pm nope 9 mins now till 12pm

Shouldn't we be going with E.S.T.? I've been waiting here for 5 hours anticipating the launch. Can someone please tell me what time zone we are referring to for the 12 p.m. launch time.
