And now," the doctor said, tapping Mae's wrist monitor, "now it's active. Villalobos: "Okay, you just _ the sensor that will connect to your wrist monitor. Some Circlers take it very seriously, of course, and we love it when people want to participate, but the rank is really just a fun way to see how your participation manifests itself vis-a-vis the overall Circle community. You're not judged by your rank or anything. "We started you with a little boost-otherwise you'd be 10,411. A bunch of people like your post, and you really shoot up. But every time you post or comment or attend any thing, that gets factored in, and you'll see your rank change accordingly. As you can see, your rank is low now, but that's because you're new and we just activated your social feed. The most _ Circlers are ranked highest of course. Gina on Participation Rank: "It takes into account zings, exterior followers of your intra-company zings, comments on your zings, your comments on others' zings, your comments on other Circlers' profiles, your photos posted, attendance at Circle events, comments and photos about those events-basically it _ and _ all you do here. Which is just as important as anything else, because we value your _, you know, the calibration between your online life here at the company and outside it. "So those are the priorities, with your fourth priority your own OuterCircle participation. You keep that in view?" Mae nodded at her phone, resting just below the screens on her desk. Something extremely urgent will prompt a message on your phone, too. If there's a Circle notice that's really pressing, that'll be marked in orange. Keep an eye on the InnerCircle feed in particular, because that's where you'll hear about staff meetings, mandatory gatherings, and any breaking news. They're just as _ as any other messages, but are prioritized third. But these messages aren't, like, superfluous. Gina: "The third screen is your social, Inner- and OuterCircle. We consider your online presence to be integral to your work here. But just know, from now on, that being social, and being a presence on your profile and all related accounts- this is part of why you're here. I was just a bit crazed last week and didn't get a chance to set it up." I'm here because I believe in everything you said.
"You realize that community and communication come from the same root word, communis, Latin for common, public, shared by all or many?" I was just getting acclimated here at work and wanted to focus on learning my new responsibilities."īut Gina had hit a groove and would not be stopped until she'd finished her thought. "I didn't mean to imply that it was extracurricular. She'd been so busy at work, and didn't want to seem distracted, so she'd delayed re-activating her social profile. Mae was unsure what she could say to appease Gina.
And of course I don't have to tell you that this company exists because of the social media you consider 'extracurricular.' My understanding was that you used our social media tools before coming here?"
"If you visit a coworker's page and write something on the wall, that's a positive thing. Communication is certainly not extracurricular, right?" This is how your coworkers, even those on the other side of campus, know who you are. "We actually see your profile, and the activity on it, as _ to your participation here. "That's so interesting you put it that way," she said, smiling, though she didn't seem happy. Gina tilted her head and cleared her throat theatrically. "No, in a good way! But haven't had time yet to do extracurricular stuff." Mae backtracked, masking her miscalculation with a laugh. "I take it last week was too busy for you to set up your company social account? And I don't think you've imported your old profile?" "Sure," Mae said, though she had no time at all. "Dan said this would be a good moment to set up all your socials. Gina's eyes, black and heavy with eyeliner and moon-blue mascara, smiled at her, though Mae felt no _ emanating from these eyes, or from Gina at all. She looked at Gina, a woman of few years older than herself, hoping to remember something about her or this meeting.
