Hello,

First thing first, thanks for you hard work, this update log was quite impressive(and welcomed >.>)

Now i started a new game (last time i played was in 0.6) and got bankrupt a few month later because my office worker couldn't get me "enough" proposal.. (sometime none : two month straight of failed attempt)

Bug, incredible bad luck or new % ?

I suspect that the RNG caught you in it's relentless steel jaws...  There's two tricks I use.  I usually have two sales managers (so my production manager can do research when she's not dealing with production tasks), so you have a better chance of getting jobs.  (And don't forget to upgrade in the research panel!)  I also have a goodly stable of idols (9-12), because more idols means more jobs (spread out so as not to kill their stamina).

It helps to have Staff who specialize in 1 job.  For example, Sales Manager who does both production and business deals get paid astronomically more then a Sales Manager that specializes in only production.  

I believe with near max skill, the Sales Manager who does both jobs gets paid at least 300k while the specialized Sales Manager gets paid 120k.  So it is cheaper to hire 2 and specialize them.

Also, spamming singles early on helps keep some cash flow, but it'll raise production skills quickly, in turn wages.
