What the Daily Quota Means
Steam presents the quota as the central workday target: use fictional scam scenarios to earn enough before facing the boss. The game description ties failing the quota to the risk of being fired. It does not publish a complete table of quota amounts by day or player count.
A practical editorial approach is to monitor the in-game target and current earnings during a run, rather than follow a number copied from an older playtest or another player's lobby.
How Runs Develop
The store describes run-based progression with more chaotic workdays and a growing arsenal of scenarios. The Early Access statement says the developers intend to expand progression and office interactions, but scope can change.
That is not evidence for a fixed number of days, a universal upgrade order or a guaranteed way to survive every interruption.

What Happens at the Boss Review
The boss's performance review is an advertised part of the workday. Early hotfixes addressed review timeouts, including paused or replacement replays. Update 0.1.73 adds a Steam backup transfer for review recordings, improves handling of extra reaction lines and favors qualifying funny highlights from different players.
Those patch notes confirm review-recording behavior, not a published scoring formula. They also do not guarantee that any particular clip will be shown.
Avoid Outdated Advice
Update 0.1.73 changed several scenario payouts and interactions. A quota strategy based on pre-update Bitcoin, Meme Coin or Lottery Prize behavior can now be inaccurate. Compare any numerical claim with the current official notes and the live game version.
