Greetings, Platform Managers!

The Board of Directors extends its thanks to all Platform Managers for your continued support and stellar work ethic since the Oversight Depts. Update. As you’ll see from the below key results from this quarter, Drill Core Inc. is thriving, and we acknowledge the necessity of all employees in this endeavour.

• More than 80,000 Platform Managers have joined Drill Core Inc., highlighting that our highly valuable mission is one which resonates with visionaries across the solar system.
  
• The Department of Infinite Wealth is reported to be the most popular Oversight Department. Any implications that they may have bought their way to these votes in our survey are, of course, nonsense!
  
• There have been 7 additional balancing updates since the Oversight Depts. Update, with each aiming to further streamline gameplay.

Of course, as the Board of Directors, we’re incredibly pleased with the results of the update, and would like to once again thank both experienced employees and all new starters for their continued support.

We would also like to remind all Platform Managers that the HR Department’s Employee Satisfaction and Engagement Survey is still open, and is an instrumental tool for them to continue improving working conditions at Drill Core Inc.; please do ensure you fill it out, here, to share your opinions of Drill Core.
