How about allowing a directors position to be transferred to another player within the company, provided specific requirements were met, eg: Length of time since last action of current Director.
Or alternatively allow for a Co-Director, like the Co-Leader in a faction, where the co-director can assume total control again, provided specific requirements were met, eg: Length of time since last action of current Leader or total control automatically passes to the Co-Director under preset conditions, as above.
The Co-Director would ideally only have the ability to carry out trains in the normal course of events. In the event of the Director being inactive for a preset period of time, the Director would have their position changed to something along the lines of "On Sabbatical", or an entry level employee but cannot be fired for another preset period of time, and the elected co-director would assume full control of the company.
I've had a look for information on inactive director s and can't find anything. :(
With respect to what you're saying regards the competitiveness factor in companies, I wouldn't be suggesting that the Co-Director would get 100% equal rights within the company immediately upon being made Co-Director. What I am suggesting is that the co-director would be someone to whom the running of the company would be transferred to if say for example the current director was inactive for a specified period, say 90 days.
The current director would be "demoted" to the co-directors position, with that demotion being locked in for maybe a minimum period of another 90 days before the position could be offered to someone else.
Alternatively, the current director could be "demoted" to employee status.
This would allow for a company to have a chance of thriving and its staff not being left uncared for, much like in factions.

Apologies on that. I was actually playing with my browser docked on 1/2 my screen, and never saw Crap as it was off the right hand side of the browser, not in view and I never even seen the bottom scroll bar!! :(
Thanks for looking at this PEBKAC issue, and apologies for wasting your time!! :)
