Wellness and Gifting
Moishe
Today a new employee joined a company I manage. They had excellent skills - over 4.50 - and it was a Q2 company.
The thing is, they only had 38 wellness.
No problem! If I can get them to improve that wellness they would become a great producer. I could make money. They could make money. And everyone could go home happy.
So I sent them a little message. It went something like this:
"Greetings! You have excellent skills and the company is proud to have you. But your wellness really needs to be improved. I'll give you the next three days to work on that wellness but then I will have to reduce your pay to reflect your production."
Their reply was along the lines of they could not buy anymore wellness because they had spent their 6 gold on the eLottery.
Buy wellness? Wow!
Yes, I am aware that one can buy wellness. You can get 10 wellness points for 2 Gold. That comes to about 120 USD or 12 USD per wellness point.
Now if you are desperate for wellness and you have already received 10 wellness points for the day then I suppose buying the Wellness Package is an alternative.
But, dude!!??
What about gifts? You can buy over 40 gifts for 120 USD! Of course you can't send them to yourself but.......
Gifting Partners
If two people who have low to medium wellness (or anyone for that matter) will get together and send each other 10 gifts you can improve your wellness by 10 points per day for less than 30 USD. Using this method in less than 2 weeks you can have 100 wellness! Wow! What an idea!!!
Ok, I know for many of you gifting and gifting partners is not a new concept but believe it or not many of our newer eCitizens seem to be lost on the idea of "gifts".
Another person whom I had made a similar suggestion asked me if they and another could send the same gift back and forth thus improving their wellness with only the purchase of one gift.
No.
Once a gift is given it is gone. The recipient gets 1 wellness point and the gift goes off into gift limbo. (Or consider it placed in the knickknack cabinet to be admired from here unto eternity.)
But you can buy more! Our gifting companies would appreciate it. And so will your gifting partners!
Give the gifts that give wellness. Give gifts!
Finding a Gifting Partner
Now this is the really hard part. How do you find a gifting partner?
Here is the best method I have found step by step:
1) Go to the company page for the company for whom you work.
2) List the employees.
3) Pick one.
4) Send them a message asking if they would like to exchange gifts with you.
5) Send them 10 gifts.
Most companies have about 10 employees so there is a good chance you will hit on a receptive party by the time you get to the end of the list.
Now go get a gifting partner and Be Well!

Good article, Moishe. There are also some political party gift exchanges and I've heard of orgs and companies that serve as gift mirrors.
Learning the value of eUSD is tough early on. Your article should save some precious noob $.
Actually I rattled this off pretty quick. There is a lot of other information I meant to include. Stuff that has come out in other articles like your Company level determines how much wellness you lose etc. Information that new eCitizens don't seem to have a grasp of.
Why waste money on gifts when, for a nearly equal cost, you can buy a moving ticket, fight (added bonus) and move to Florida and get +50 wellness for free 😛?
Because Benn, Florida has old, smelly people. Nobody likes old, smelly geezers who talk about the good old days.
Benn, we are discussing a long term solution to the wellness problem not the quick fix of a war. While it is true that a Q5 hospital after a war will work wonders for wellness new eCitizens need to understand about how to maintain that wellness even in time of no war. (Of course you knew all of this and are just advertising the war.)
BTW the fight is not an added bonus. Without the fight no hospital healing, right? 😉
Thank you for this article. It is great! I have just spent 2 gold for 10 wellness and only after that I realized thatvu could pay only 30 dollars for the same wellness, and I even have many friends playing this game. But do you know when a new war will start?
