"Employee" of the Month

Summary: This comment now has a ton of information so I'll provide a summary. See below for my ongoing updates based on a variety of posts and conversations I had with players who have obtained this achievement. As of 8/7/2025 only 14 players have this achievement and no one knows how they got it conclusively. The one common thread among them is having done many chett lists on one character, which has led to my speculation that it is a region-level competition based on who does the most chett lists on one character in a given month. This is incredibly hard to verify without many more months of data, but virtually every other conceivable theory has been tested and disproven. Even the region-wide competition theory even has some holes, but there are some possible explanations for those. I'll continue to make updates as people share their approach.

------------------ See below for ongoing updates ------------------

Edit 8/7/2025:

• 
  
• Two new players obtained this - one EU (July 31st), one TW (August 4th)
• 
  
• The EU player did many chett lists on one character (lost count), all activities, and worked for all 4 goblin factions (one each week)
• 
  

Edit 7/1/2025:

• 
  
• Two new players obtained this - one EU, one US.
• 
  
• One of these players did it by doing 214 chett lists on 1 character in June, all to the CHETT machine (not to goblins). They did every task at least 3 times.
• 
  
• The other player did ~200 chett lists on 1 character in June, and did not complete all activities. They just did the easiest ones.
• 
  
• There were several people from the secrets discord who attempted variations of doing all activities at least once and doing X total number of lists during the month, and it appears no one got it. I personally tried doing all activities once and did 35+ chett lists using alts.
• 
  
• Pezdiablo tried his same formula from last month and did NOT get the title again. This was to turn in 60-80 chett lists on 1 character, which got him the achievement last month.
• 
  
• Two people who got this last month have reported losing the title on the monthly reset.
• 
  

Edit 6/5/2025: One more player got this on the TW server on 6/4. The late timing might be due to their later reset.
Edit 6/1/2025: Two new players have obtained this 5/31 and 6/1 - EU and US players:

• 
  
• They both did a ton of chett lists on 1 character.
• 
  
• One did NOT do daily chett lists, but did "85ish completed lists in the last 2 weeks of May to the chett machine on 1 single character".
• 
  
• The other did around 200 chett lists on 1 character to the chett machine, and an additional 60 to cartels.
• 
  
• The latter individual lost his title within a day, and then re-earned it after completing one chett list the next day. Akumei (other commenter who got it) said he lost his title fairly quickly as well. This increases my suspicion that this is a competition of some kind, but doesn't appear to be linked to region or server since 2 US players and 3 KR players got it in April.

Edit 5/23/2025: Updating this whole comment based on some more info I got from Night and a comment I saw from Shoogen (owner of DFA) on Reddit. There is some new info and I had a few details wrong (like dates) but I believe the overall conclusion is still correct. If I'm right we will see a bunch of people get this at the end of May.

What we know for sure:

• 
  
• There are 6 people who have obtained this, all between April 25th and May 2nd. Regions were EU, US, KR, KR, US, KR. This tracks as the obtain rate on DFA is still 0.0005%.
• 
  
• We have people on the same region getting this, so it is not some kind of "1 person per region per month" kind of competition.
• 
  
• It is also not just the #1 person on each server, otherwise we would see many more people getting it.
• 
  
• At least 1 player did not have the CHETT mate achievement yet, meaning it was done with < 100 total chett lists.
• 
  

How to acquire (speculative):
This appears to be tied to doing lots of chett lists on 1 character via chett cards. No one knows for sure, but it could be doing 1 a day for a month or just doing X total number in 1 month.

Basis for above theory:

• 
  
• I had some conversations with players that got it, who said they did a ton of chett lists on their main. Since many players have done daily chett lists using alts and not gotten this achievement, I think it is fair to assume this is tied to being done with 1 character via chett cards.
• 
  
• It also appears to be tied to the calendar month, as everyone who got it did so at the end of April, and no one has gotten it since.
• 
  
• People got it spread over a few days, but this is likely because you need to speak to the chett machine and press the special prompt (see Akumei's comment).
• 
  
• I think March didn't count because we started the patch partway into the month, so April was the first time it was possible.
• 
  
• Other commenters have said they tried doing 1 chett list per day for a month, but NOT in a calendar month, and did not get the achievement.
• 
  

Got this achievement today. A new line shows up when you interact with the C.H.E.T.T. machine, where it states that a red flashing light or button is going off. Clicking on the new interaction gave me the achievement. I have no idea what triggered it... besides just farming a lot of CHETT cards and turning in CHETT lists.

Just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all those out there trying to figure this out! You're doing an insane amount of work to see what might work and what definitely does not work!
