Climbing the Corporate Ladder
Posted by The Chief Executive Officer on March 27, 2022 at 2:20 PM
Hello, Toontown. This is the Chief Executive Officer, contacting you from the comfort of my Bossbot Clubhouse. Surely you remember me, don’t you? I was the talk of the entire town, after all. Cover Cog of Robust magazine, star of your TOONYs. I’ve really had quite the career, wouldn’t you say?
After rising through the ranks of the corporate ladder, I’ve reached the ultimate promotion: Chief Executive Officer. My days rising the ladder taught me so many things. Acting as a Yesman showed me the value of others’ opinions. Being a Downsizer is what made me discover the benefits of cutting costs. Being a Big Cheese? That taught me the benefits of treating your high-valued staff a little bit better.
I’m no longer the Flunky you all voted to fame. I’m better than he ever was. And with this promotion to the position of C.E.O., I'll be making a few changes around here.
When I listen to what my esteemed Version 2.0 colleagues want, I hear two things: recognition and security. In hindsight, they may have been referring to job security, but I’ve got an even better idea. From now on, Version 2.0 Cogs will have additional protections against your Gags. This will be a deterrent against your antics and silliness. Now, these additional protections do drive up costs, so some cost-cutting will be in order…
Ah, the answer to this problem is just as simple. I’ll just hire less Version 2.0 Cogs on my wait-staff. For that matter, we can just invite less Version 2.0 Cogs to my banquet. They’ll be less expensive to keep happy during dinner – not to mention their lesser rank making them easier to fire. And for my guests of honor? They get only the finest of recognition, being V.I.P. Cogs.
In fact, I’m so confident in this plan that I’ll be sending out a wave of Version 2.0 Mega-Invasions to celebrate these changes. Err, it looks like we’re a bit over budget, so only some of the invading Cogs will be Version 2.0. Still, foolproof!
Foolproof, right. My V.I.Ps will be kept happier than ever, and costs will be lower than ever after this invasion is over. Plus, this will provide additional protections against you Toons. I’m thankful for your recognition back then, but you’re no longer required for my current role.

So glad you fixed CEO battle. Maybe it will be easier to find people to battle as well as not lose all our laff when having to fight him. Thanks!
How do the cogs get access to the Toon News? Anywho, I wasn't expecting these changes to go live so suddenly and quickly. This is pretty cool!
Congrats, however, ToonTown will still be saved from you Flunky-CEO!
