Your rank on the leaderboard will never provide a mechanical advantage, its just for fun, its not meant for FOMO. I will also likely not be particularly proactive with culling non obvious cheaters, so don't stress it too much. Depending on the reception and any potential issues arising form it, it might go away or be limited to your friends list. I will also be adding more leaderboard categories once I am sure there are no major structural issues with the system. Promoted employees can now learn new skills up to what their rank allows through a gacha system, you do not have to accept the resu…
