White Collar Robots

This is a roleplaying game design idea that came to me the other day when I saw a billboard that read, "We do not hire robots."

You are a robot.

You are very good at what you were designed to do.

You work for a large corporation in a shop/maintenance capacity.

Due to the economic downturn the corporation was forced to let large numbers humans go. They 'promoted' you to fill their place in the white collar environment of the back office. There you must attempt to get your job done, lacking any skill in that particular field, while you deal with the emotions of your remaining human coworkers.

Will you get the job done?

Will you get along with humans who hate their new robot coworkers?

Or, will you get fired?
