STORYLINE: At the heart of Central Product's fast paced expansion is the weary and ragged Human Resources department, charged with the daunting task of hiring hundreds of new employees in just under two years. This time Anne Chavez, the HR director, needs you to contribute as one of her staff, not as a trainee. You will be challenged to deal with issues of sexual harassment, on-the-job injury, even unionization.
