Metro: ESP

The ESP is the "Employee Screening Program".

This test is given to high school students and above who would apply for jobs within Metro. Since there is such a huge demand for people and thousands of jobs available, the four major companies that settled in Metro decided to use a uniform system to assess and categorize all incoming employees.

After the test, each person is given a letter grade.



A

The Executives and money-movers in the economy of Metro city. They have all the perks, all the access and all the protection of the law to ensure that they don’t loose it. Few things in the world can stop an “A” from getting what he wants.

B
These are the Bureaucrats of the economy. Mayors, chiefs of police, Lawyers and some doctors. They have enough privilege to be comfortable and can generally operate within society without hindrance.


C
The public servants of Metro. These are the nurses, firemen, police, teachers and general repairmen that you see everyday. Most people will push themselves to get a C-Level position as it’s comfortable without too many complications.


D
The drudges. These people were just not good enough to “Go Blue” but were better than the F-Level, Factory Fodder. These people are generally in the maintenance fields that require some technical skills but nothing too spectacular.


F
Factory Fodder. These are the lowest of Metro’s economy. They have nothing and are all but owned by the companies they work for. Commonly seen in a red jumper, they’re sometimes known as “Fire Crackers” for their occasion to be burned up in a factory accident.

Within each Level there is a ranking from 1 to 5; five being the lowest of the rank. Most people will attend some form of technical school in order to raise their rank by a few points so that they might shift levels. University students will often raise their standing by an entire level by the time they graduate.

The ESP test is approximately 6 years old.
