- For emails from coworkers in DLC levels, see Emails from Coworkers (DLC)
Emails from colleagues are printed notes the player receives upon completion of a level, as a way to add further immersion to the game. They are posted in the Office along with any relevant Ending Messages.
The emails are usually angry or spiteful in content, and often in the form of death threats. They fall into three basic categories, dependent on the player's score:
- Promotion Envy (score 70% and above; "Acceptable", "Excellent", or Employee of the Month ratings)
- Goodbye Notes (score 69% and below; "Awful" rating, Player is Fired)
- Company Shut-Down (score -25% and under, received by punching out leaving a bigger mess)
It should be noted that none of the actions or threats in the emails are actually carried out during gameplay.
Promotion Envy
Date: 05/09/2184 11:45 AM Dear colleague: One day, and that day may never come, you will be cleaning when suddenly you find yourself stuck in an airlock, or under a lift. You will be mopping blood when a panel hits you on the head. You will be operating the Slosh-O-matic when it suddenly sucks you in. I am a patient person, I can wait until the time is right. Everytime you do a good job, remember that! -Anonymous |

When I'm through with you, I'm gonna enjoy mopping up your sick ass body! -One pissed colleague |
