Since the launch of World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, Undermine(d), players have been intrigued by the enigmatic Employee of the Month achievement. While some fortunate adventurers have unexpectedly received this honor, the exact conditions that trigger it remain one of WoW's best-kept secrets. This mysterious feature was introduced alongside the underground Goblin city of Undermine, adding another layer of intrigue to the already complex World of Warcraft gameplay experience.

Released on February 25, World of Warcraft Patch 11.1, Undermine(d), brought players to the subterranean metropolis of Undermine, home to the cunning Goblins and their complex economic systems. Among the new features was the C.H.E.T.T. List system, where players can complete various tasks to earn currency and reputation. However, hidden within this seemingly straightforward mechanic lies one of the most perplexing mysteries in recent WoW history.

The mystery centers around the C.H.E.T.T.mate achievement, which players can obtain by either completing 100 C.H.E.T.T. lists or by being named Employee of the Month. The latter method also grants a special Feat of Strength achievement and corresponding title. As noted by WoW enthusiast DanielMoore0515 on Reddit, despite extensive community efforts, the criteria for becoming Employee of the Month remain unknown, making it one of the most intriguing World of Warcraft secrets in recent memory.

A select few players have reported receiving the Employee of the Month title, describing sudden flashing lights from the C.H.E.T.T. machine and a new dialogue option that awarded the achievement. However, none could identify what specifically triggered this event, and all attempts to replicate the conditions have failed. This has led to widespread speculation and experimentation within the WoW community.

The dedicated secret hunters of World of Warcraft have tried numerous approaches: completing every task on a single C.H.E.T.T. list, turning in lists daily for consecutive months, and various other creative methods. Current theories suggest the title might be awarded randomly each month, or perhaps requires specific hidden conditions that haven't been discovered yet. Until Blizzard provides clarification or players uncover definitive evidence, this achievement will remain one of WoW's most compelling mysteries.

For now, players aiming for the C.H.E.T.T.mate achievement may need to focus on the reliable method of completing 100 lists, as the Employee of the Month path appears frustratingly elusive. Alternatively, adventurers can use completed C.H.E.T.T. Lists to gain reputation with Undermine's four Goblin Cartels, another valuable reward from Patch 11.1's new content.
