Job Security: Why does an employer fire you?
Joe DaSmoe
That's right wellness. Many players seem to trudge through this game bouncing from job to job, getting fired over and over again because of their low wellness level.
Why does it matter? Productivity. Here is an example:
An employee who is skill level 4 and has 95 wellness produces: 17.4 units
An employee who is skill level 4 and has 40 wellness produces: 10.8 units
Over a 60% difference.
Its simple, the more you produce the more you are worth to your company. A player who maintains wellness is far more productive and as a result, earns more money and maintains job security. Gold is hard to come by when you first start playing this game. You receive 5 gold for every 30 days you work in a row. ( Hard worker medal) When you allow your wellness to remain low, you run into the problem of being of being fired. If you are not careful getting fired can screw up your chance to get your Hard Worker Medal.
For quite some time, the USA has been engaging in active war games. Fighting in battle is the the single most effective way to maintain your wellness. All you have to do is MOVE to a state with a high quality hospital. It does not matter what state you live in in eRepublik, living in Ohio because you live there in real life, will get you no where. Ever wonder why it is that you can live in one state and work across the country? State residence doesn't matter.
Our country has only two Q5 Hospitals, one in Florida and one in New Jersey. Why does that matter? Q5 hospitals give you 50 wellness points when you heal.
Here is how you heal after fighting.
First off, you need to be at or above 40 wellness to be able to fight. If you are below that, find a friend who is willing to trade gifts with you in order to boost your wellness up.
Once you click fight, it will pop up a stats page that shows your damage, etc. On the bottom of that page, click the tab that says go back to battlefield. On this page, you will see a spot in the center of the page that says you can receive wellness from the Hospital.(If your state has one)
Click the link that says Hospital and you will then be taken to your state's page. Once there, click Heal and BAM you just gained 50 wellness points (provided you are in FL or NJ)
A player that starts the day with 40 wellness, can fight once (you lose 10 wellness per fight) end up at 30 wellness, heal and have a resulting wellness of 80. Once you do that, you can then fight the next day ( YOU CAN ONLY HEAL ONCE PER DAY) until your wellness is at 50. Once you hit 50 wellness, heal and voila, you have attained 100 wellness.
Its extremely easy to do, and I hope this helps some of you guys understand just how easy it is, and why your employer keeps firing you.
Good Luck, get that wellness up, make mo money!
Here are a few articles that go a little more in detail on wellness and fighting.

Excellent work Joe. Vote this up everyone!
It's all coming together now.
Why do only two states have Q5 hospitals? Can the government not afford more than that?
Thank you, Joe DaSmoe - Champion of the Little Guy.
Great info for new citizens, I will link this to all my new employees.
Great article wellness is the only reason I will let someone go unless they stop working.
You should also read this article, it offers definitions for words commonly used in erepublik, like a "tank", a "PTO", and "POTUS", as well as important links to guids for newb's: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/vocab-for-newb-s-794101/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/voca[..]/1/20
As always: great work, Joe!
The eUS needs more people like you 🙂
@RSFlux - the last Q5 hospital was purchased for 28000 USD. That's 560 gold. So it is a significant investment.
Further, the country doesn't need Q5 hospitals in every region. A hospital can only be used to heal loss of wellness from war, so the hospitals only need to be placed in strategic regions where having large numbers of citizens is beneficial to national defense.
I forgot to say this was a great article, actualy detailing how you fight.
What a great American. I love DaSmoe's articles and every new player should read these.
Logical and necessary. Most people don't know this stuff. Hell, I didn't realize there was even that huge of a difference in productivity. Thank God for players like you who bring this to the attention of the newbs.
I fully support this article and its content.

Thanks for the info
Nice article, Joe.
Joe. You're awesome. That's all there is to it. When I run for Grand Tyrannical Dictator of the Planet Earth, will you be my Illustrious Potentate of Pizz-owning bad noobs? 😃
Thanks guys
always fighting for wellness, great article Joe
Great article.
One other point-- before you take a job, check to see who you're working for. Eg, is the holding company American, or at least an ATLANTIS ally?
The one and only time I got fired, I was briefly working in Romania for an iron company. Despite wellness of 98, they fired me after one day.
WTF?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out the company was owned by a PEACE ally. Apparently, my avatar with the big American flag went against their corporate culture. Which is actually good-- I didn't want to make iron for PEACE anyway, so I'm glad they fired me quickly.
War is not the only way to keep your wellness up. I work a Q2 job, have a Q3 house and buy Q3 food. I keep my wellness between 97-100 and my USD is growing daily. Why do we have to be so militant. Let the war-games keep us trained for possible attacks on our land.
I don't get fired.
I've been an eCitizen for less than a month. I have progressed to level 13, and I've purchased a house.
I'm a good worker. I work everyday. I used the strategy of the article to get my wellness up into the 90's. Always worked when my wellness was at its highest point during the day. Recently, I was working for a Q3 company, I had bought and was living in a Q1 house and doing fine, able to afford Q3 or 4 food with no problem- with a good salary. Out of nowhere, my boss cut my salary. Now I will go into the red daily just to afford Q3 food. The Q1 house and Q3 food will not keep my wellness up (even without training everyday), so I'm ready for the next training/resistance war!
Nice article!
LIES! I fire my employees cause their names don't sound cool..
Glad you're back on your "for newbs" A game Joe! I love these articles.
This is what I'm talking about, nice info.
As always, an helpful article for the common newb. Good work.
Thanks for making this information available and accessible. Nice article. If you don't work for the DoE, you might consider it. 🙂
Newb's read this it really helps.
Great article, Joe!

Nice work, except for the math. It's a difference of 6.6 points, which is approximately 38% of 17.4 . So, there is a difference of 38% between good and bad. (when you see 17.4 = 100% that is, sure it looks a lot scarier if you take the 10.8 = 100%, then it would be a difference of around 60%. xD)
Oi, Boss-man, if you're reading this, it's all stuff I've been doing! Wanna remember that when you make the budget cuts? Please?
Help Joe reach Media Mogul! Help add Gold to US Treasury!
