Caring For Your Employees is a unique VHS providing some lore to the world of Project Zomboid.

Overview

The player can reduce boredom by -5 for each line of dialog when in the vicinity of a television playing the VHS.

The VHS can be used with an appropriate television to play the monologue of an employer explicating how best to treat your employees, to have a healthy workplace environment. At first the speech seems genuine and reasonable but then it unfolds its vile shape.

Transcript

Marcia:

Hi there. I'm Marcia O'Donnell.
If you're watching this, you may have been treating your employees a little poorly.
But we all make mistakes. That's why pencils have erasers.
Let's start with the basics.
Your employees are human beings.
They may be a little - or a lot - slower than us managers.
They may not drive stylish cars, or work as hard...
But in most other ways they're just like you.
Make sure they have ample breaks, and snacks available.
Ensure their bathroom is of an acceptable standard.
And most importantly - don't put up with any talk of unions.
The main cause of employee-manager breakdown is unions...
...who point out things all good employees know to ignore.
If you have to shout, make sure to isolate the employee so others don't get upset.
And if they insist on only working nine-to-five...
...make it known they will never advance. Even if they won't advance anyway.
Follow these tips for a healthier, happier workplace.

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.

Containers

This VHS will only spawn once and only in living room shelves, making it incredibly rare.
