Trivia[]
- Only available in The Last Autumn DLC.
- When switching between short shift and regular/extended shift multiple times, a notification named "Unstable work hours - Don't play with Short Shifts" will pop up. The text goes as follows:
| “ | Sir, a foreman is here to complain about your change of working hours at the end of Short Shift, which workers see as cheating. "Boss, first we are told we can work a bit shorter. Then it turns out our shift is extended. Next day, same thing happens. Coincidence? I think not. Look, my people are not afraid of hard work, but if they feel they're being played, they will be much more pissed than if you asked them straight up, and frankly, I can't blame them." | „ |
- Additionally, the part where the foreman says "Coincidence? I think not." may be a reference to the meme from the 2004 animated film The Incredibles.
