how about completing every task of a single list, without turning the individual tasks in ofc, else the card will become completed after turning in 4 tasks

Comment by Zerocharisma1875

I did a chett list every day for a week, no employee of the month, if anyone gets it lets hear how , im going to continue 1 per day, a pay period could be 2 weeks, so 14 chett lists in a row 1 per day , ill update when i find out.

Comment by Pesach

Since this is a FoS I am willing to bet it's a bit on the convoluted side, IRL to be an "employee of the month" basically you need to be the employee that had the greatest results willing to burn yourself out. A regular C.h.e.t.t. employee would normally turn in one of these a week, but I think maybe if you turn 2 of them a week for a month you might get this achievement.

Comment by KarthusTeemo

I will just say that I am normally fine with them doing cute little side things like this with some mystery to it, however, when we are on week 7 of the patch and NOBODY has found even a SCRAP OF A HINT of how to obtain an achievement......literally 0 people have obtained it with proof and steps of how to replicate it.....maybe, just maybe, we should be a little transparent on how something works or do some hotfixes to make it apparent.

Comment by Kufner

Has Anyone Tried Turning in a completed chett to each one of the factions? I'm only giving this idea since it hasn't been mentioned as a possibility.

Comment by Chumpacabra

I'm betting this achievement requires Exalted with all four of the individual cartels. It seems like the only feasible reason (besides this achievement just being flat out bugged) that we haven't seen anyone with this FoS yet, and it kinda makes sense thematically too.

Comment by Nadalya

I haven't seen this theory yet on here but has anyone tried doing every specific task that's possible within this past month? Like, the tasks are randomized for each CHETT List so my theory is that you have to do each specific task at least once within a month. Of course there's no way to track this data in game, but I'm just curious if anyone has attempted this.

Comment by Lunae067

My theory is completing a c.h.e.t.t. list every day for 1 month (the basic c.h.e.t.t. list once a week, and the daily 40 c.h.e.t.t. card for the other 6 days). I don't know if anyone tried that already, or does it matter if it's 1 specific month or just 30 (31?) consecutive days? If nobody figures out until, I will try doing a c.h.e.t.t. list every day in May from 1st to 31st.

Comment by averlyn

I got a feeling: The joke is simple; There is no employee of the month.
The cake is a lie folks.

Edit:
Did 5.. just registered 3 on the achievement..
what a scam.

Comment by akumei4th

Got this achievement today. A new line shows up when you interact with the C.H.E.T.T. machine, where it states that a red flashing light or button is going off. Clicking on the new interaction gave me the achievement. I have no idea what triggered it... besides just farming a lot of CHETT cards and turning in CHETT lists.

Comment by JeackTL

Summary: This comment now has a ton of information so I'll provide a summary. See below for my ongoing updates based on a variety of posts and conversations I had with players who have obtained this achievement. As of 8/7/2025 only 14 players have this achievement and no one knows how they got it conclusively. The one common thread among them is having done many chett lists on one character, which has led to my speculation that it is a region-level competition based on who does the most chett lists on one character in a given month. This is incredibly hard to verify without many more months of data, but virtually every other conceivable theory has been tested and disproven. Even the region-wide competition theory even has some holes, but there are some possible explanations for those. I'll continue to make updates as people share their approach.

------------------ See below for ongoing updates ------------------

Edit 8/7/2025:

Two new players obtained this - one EU (July 31st), one TW (August 4th)
The EU player did many chett lists on one character (lost count), all activities, and worked for all 4 goblin factions (one each week)

Edit 7/1/2025:

Two new players obtained this - one EU, one US.
One of these players did it by doing 214 chett lists on 1 character in June, all to the CHETT machine (not to goblins). They did every task at least 3 times.
The other player did ~200 chett lists on 1 character in June, and did not complete all activities. They just did the easiest ones.
There were several people from the secrets discord who attempted variations of doing all activities at least once and doing X total number of lists during the month, and it appears no one got it. I personally tried doing all activities once and did 35+ chett lists using alts.
Pezdiablo tried his same formula from last month and did NOT get the title again. This was to turn in 60-80 chett lists on 1 character, which got him the achievement last month.
Two people who got this last month have reported losing the title on the monthly reset.

Edit 6/5/2025: One more player got this on the TW server on 6/4. The late timing might be due to their later reset.
Edit 6/1/2025: Two new players have obtained this 5/31 and 6/1 - EU and US players:

They both did a ton of chett lists on 1 character.
One did NOT do daily chett lists, but did "85ish completed lists in the last 2 weeks of May to the chett machine on 1 single character".
The other did around 200 chett lists on 1 character to the chett machine, and an additional 60 to cartels.
The latter individual lost his title within a day, and then re-earned it after completing one chett list the next day. Akumei (other commenter who got it) said he lost his title fairly quickly as well. This increases my suspicion that this is a competition of some kind, but doesn't appear to be linked to region or server since 2 US players and 3 KR players got it in April.

Edit 5/23/2025: Updating this whole comment based on some more info I got from Night and a comment I saw from Shoogen (owner of DFA) on Reddit. There is some new info and I had a few details wrong (like dates) but I believe the overall conclusion is still correct. If I'm right we will see a bunch of people get this at the end of May.

What we know for sure:

There are 6 people who have obtained this, all between April 25th and May 2nd. Regions were EU, US, KR, KR, US, KR. This tracks as the obtain rate on DFA is still 0.0005%.
We have people on the same region getting this, so it is not some kind of "1 person per region per month" kind of competition.
It is also not just the #1 person on each server, otherwise we would see many more people getting it.
At least 1 player did not have the CHETT mate achievement yet, meaning it was done with < 100 total chett lists.

How to acquire (speculative):
This appears to be tied to doing lots of chett lists on 1 character via chett cards. No one knows for sure, but it could be doing 1 a day for a month or just doing X total number in 1 month.

Basis for above theory:

I had some conversations with players that got it, who said they did a ton of chett lists on their main. Since many players have done daily chett lists using alts and not gotten this achievement, I think it is fair to assume this is tied to being done with 1 character via chett cards.
It also appears to be tied to the calendar month, as everyone who got it did so at the end of April, and no one has gotten it since.
People got it spread over a few days, but this is likely because you need to speak to the chett machine and press the special prompt (see Akumei's comment).
I think March didn't count because we started the patch partway into the month, so April was the first time it was possible.
Other commenters have said they tried doing 1 chett list per day for a month, but NOT in a calendar month, and did not get the achievement.

Comment by nolannne

I just finished 1 card per day for 31 days in a row (1 free and 6 additional per week) but not from 1st to 31th of the same month...
I didn't had the achievement so I will continue until may 31th to test if it work... :'/

EDIT 6/1/2025 : I finished another 31 days in a row from 1st to 31th of Mai... but still nothing. I didn't do all the different jobs of chett cards, the one I didn't do is the one who tell to kill 5 players in pvp maybe the reason of the fail... But no new line shows up when I interact with the C.H.E.T.T. machine, no red button...

Comment by vyndrian

New theory: Perhaps you have to earn a certain amount of Valorstones to get the achievement, and if you're capped (which most of us are) it doesn't give credit. That's why people with alts have gotten the achievement, because alts usually aren't capped on Valorstones.

Comment by Noct

Is there someone in touch with the owner of the FOS? i think that it could be connected to the amount of valorstones you collect through a whole week. Problem is, i was most of the time on valor cap... so.... no progress. - only IF its the criteria!

Can someone ask them if they got VS while turning in their CHEET lists? Or capped on VS like most of the other players while turning in cheet list?

Comment by Rubz93

I have a theory from thinking outside the box. We all are thinking about the C.H.E.T.T. machine is the only way of doing this, but I'm interpreting C.H.E.T.T.mate as we can either go the route with C.H.E.T.T. or with a different route.
A Month has Four WEEKS and this zone has Four main CARTELS. Employee of the month insinuates "best" worker which might mean being Exalted with the cartel.

My theory is we have to be exalted with all four cartels AND we need to turn in a Finder's Fee every week to each cartel (choose a different cartel every week) OR turn in a C.H.E.T.T. List to C.H.E.T.T first then one for each Cartel.

Comment by mellanpikachu

I ran it 130 times in May — 25 characters on the same server for 5 weeks, plus 1 character on another server — and still didn’t get it.

It seems like someone else might have done it even more than that.

Or maybe the achievement is given based on the first week of the month — I'm not sure.

I don’t know of any site that lets you check who earned the achievement, so I can’t see who got it on the Korean servers as of June 1st. 😢

Comment by Lunae067

Update to my earlier comment - DIDN'T GET THE ACHIEVEMENT

I did an experiment by doing every day a chett list from 1st May to 31st May with the same character and turn them into chett machine.

Here are my experience:
- Did every Wednesday the weekly free chett list
- Did every other day the 40 chett card list
- Did every week the free chett list with each of my 17 alts - turned them for reputation at the quartermasters
- There were some tasks I've never did with any of my characters (fishing, battle pet collect...)
- I was at 3 different cartels during this 31 days
- I'm exalted with 4 of 5 cartels
- My main was mostly on Valorstone cap when I returned the completed chett list to the machine
- I did 1 more 40 cards chett list on 1st Juni
- my c.h.e.t.t.mate achievement is 34/100 currently

I hope this little info helps narrow down how to get this achievement.

Comment by Goblinaire

Here's the Dataforazeroth link showing statistics for those who have earned the achievement. This number is of course based on the accounts that DFA tracks. The percentage of accounts that have obtained this is sitting at 0.0008% (8 out of 1 million) as of this post .

Comment by runicpower

appears the achievement is what it says it is ... whoever does the most gets the title ... for the region ... for the month ... which is absolutely insane

Comment by Eleanorberwyk

Just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all those out there trying to figure this out! You're doing an insane amount of work to see what might work and what definitely does not work!

Comment by Desmian

Sooo... no new news, huh? This whole thing is so frustrating. I keep checking the comments on the first day of every new month, but I guess we won't figure it out.

Comment by Xirev

Some data of what I did last month but did not get the feat:

I completed 101 C.H.E.T.T. Lists and turned them in to C.H.E.T.T, I still needed the achievement.
I completed somewhere around 150 additional C.H.E.T.T. Lists and turned them in for reputation, I went from Friendly to Exalted with each of the goblin factions in one reset each.
So in total I did 250+ C.H.E.T.T. Lists and it did not work.

I never completed the PvP objective or the fishing objective.

Comment by WhyDaRumGone

Just got back from the future, still have not figured out how to get this achievement :p

Comment by Desmian

Hey, I just earned the “Employee of the Month” achievement on the PTR and took some screenshots.
Looks like all you need to do is turn in more C.H.E.T.T. lists than anyone else on your region. That’s it.

I managed to get the achievement three separate times on different characters that I copied over to the PTR. At the time of the transfer, I had 58/100 turn-ins on live servers. When I logged into the PTR, my counter went up by about 15 more — which seems to match the number of lists I had submitted for 500 reputation each. In September, I turned in around 30 lists into the machine on my account, which pretty clearly makes me the record holder on the PTR.

On live servers, I didn’t do anything special: turned in around five “extra lists” for 40 cards, did the weekly on my main, and sometimes on alts. Always the easiest tasks — I never did fishing, PvP, the “25 trash baskets” collection, or the pet-catching one.

The fact that the lists I had previously turned in for cartel reputation were retroactively counted toward the achievement — and that I was granted “Employee of the Month” — might suggest that the achievement had been bugged all along. If that really was the case, we’ll find out on October 6, patch day.

Comment by Tyhr

Got it today. I did a lot of C.H.E.T.T list during all of the last month, starting the 1st of september and did at least twice per day and the max I did is 47 a day. I have completed all task at least twice and i thought I've done between 200 and 250C.H.E.T.T list during this month. all with my main. I've redeeemed all of them at the C.H.E.T.T in the Incontinental Hotel

Best way to farm C.H.E.T.T card is the Sidestreet Sluice at level 11 especially when the story is the one with gold

Comment by sumass

I achieved the achievement today. I turned in 165 with one character, and 130 with my alts.

Comment by Walocial

I achieved this achievement in the EU today the 1st of December 2025!

Here's what I did:

Most importantly I handed in a total of 607 total Completed C.H.E.T.T. List - On one character!
For the latter half of the month I did 25 lists daily and 50lists on Saturdays
I made sure I did at least every task once - yes even the fishing one...
I made sure I wasn't capped on Valorstones by buying hundreds of Ethereal Equipment Chest
I farmed the C.H.E.T.T. Card the same month I attempted the achievement!

As for farming the C.H.E.T.T. Card, the best, and most reliable method I found, was to do Sidestreet Sluice on tier 10 and specifically hunt down the Nemesis elites.
Elites in that delve have a 100% chance to drop a Card, so once the Nemesis packs had been defeated, I simply left and repeated... for hours.

Do it lady!

Comment by Maximilliani

I achieved this achievement in January 2nd at 12 p.m. on the KR Server.
I started this achievement after gaining confidence in the method of obtaining it through the help of Wowhead.
I got a lot of helpful tips by consulting with player on the KR server who earned the achievement last month.

In December, I submitted 255 Completed C.H.E.T.T. List on one character.
- 250 from farming in Sidestreet Sluice (10,000 C.H.E.T.T. Card) + 5 weekly free C.H.E.T.T. lists.
(Hearing that last month’s achiever did it with 8,600 C.H.E.T.T. Cards gave me confidence in this approach.)

On KR servers, the achievement became obtainable after the 2nd of the following month...

My preferred way to farm C.H.E.T.T. Card was Sidestreet Sluice (Tier 10), Teleporter Tantrums (Story).
I did this on a Rogue, but using Tricks of the Trade on Brann made it hard to group mobs due to frequent casts from Drill Sergeant,
so I focused on scenarios where Drill Sergeant does not appear.

This WeakAura was very helpful for submitting C.H.E.T.T. lists:
https://wago.io/sRvCWNVgO/16

I did not do any of the following items on the C.H.E.T.T. list at all.
- 5 pet battles
- 5 player kills
- 50 fishing

I took all Completed C.H.E.T.T. List as Valorstones and bought a few hundred Ethereal Equipment Chest to gear my alts.
(I’m not sure whether turning them in for cartel reputation counts toward the achievement.)
For personal efficiency, I submitted Completed C.H.E.T.T. List in War Mode while earning Conquest.

Why has the method for obtaining this achievement been unclear for so long?
Perhaps in Season 2, someone mass-submitted C.H.E.T.T. lists on a single character for Valorstones or reputation but never checked or confirmed it.
Or there are claims that it only became properly obtainable after early bugs were fixed.
(In fact, early on after this achievement was introduced, there were cases where multiple players in the same region earned it.)

The biggest issue with this achievement, in my view, is that there’s no way to know who submitted the most C.H.E.T.T. lists on a single character.
We can only guess whether someone frequently entering Delves in the same phase, just to farm cards in front of Sidestreet Sluice, is also attempting this achievement.
Achievements like this—simple, competitive grinds with undisclosed criteria—can cause a huge sense of loss for someone who puts in a month of effort and still doesn’t earn it.
If this achievement was meant to be competitive, it would have been better to either make submission counts publicly visible
or award the title directly to a confirmed winner, rather than requiring players to talk to an NPC to receive it.
(Because of this design, it’s also impossible to tell whether issues were due to bugs
or because someone met the criteria without even realizing the achievement existed.)

I hope achievements like this are never repeated.

Comment by osatox

I was able to interact with C.H.E.T.T. and it contained the fourth dialogue option and got the achievement for turning in at least 112 Completed C.H.E.T.T. List in December 2025 for the NA region. 2 were the free C.H.E.T.T. List given at the start of week (as you get 1 free List at the start of every weekly reset).

I had checked DataForAzeroth and had noticed there has not been any recent US-region players getting the achievement for the past couple of months which seemed odd, so during some time off I decided to plan on farming and get some C.H.E.T.T. Card within the last week of December. The quickest delve to farm for the C.H.E.T.T. Card was Sidestreet Sluice. As others have echoed, doing it on a 10 seems the most efficient and it was pretty spot on. The fastest scenario in my opinion is gold piles when it is up. I didn't feel confident doing mass delve AOE Pulls on my main dps (Mage), so I did the entire grind on my alt protection warrior (Tank), to be able to just body pull and navigate around the instance to find the nemesis packs with ease. Each delve run took about 4-5 minutes timed from start to leaving the delve.

Identifying the nemesis elite groups this season were all the purple Ethereal canisters and containers they are nearby. They do have a leash/evade distance limit as some do reset when I either pull too far or cross a particular platform, so I found killing the 1-2 on top when I had aggro on them was optimal. On average, successfully locating and killing all 4 nemesis elite packs yielded anywhere between 8-10 C.H.E.T.T. Card on average. At the pace I was going, I averaged about 200 C.H.E.T.T. Card per Hour, so essentially I was able to farm a stack of 1000 C.H.E.T.T. Card about every 5 hours. After killing and looting the 4th nemesis elite pack, I leave the instance group to teleport outside the entrance of the delve, then running forward and repeating. There does not appear to be a instance cap for delves (to my surprise).

I farmed Sidestreet Sluice till I had at least 4 stacks of 1000 C.H.E.T.T. Card (totaling at least 4000+ C.H.E.T.T. Card), then decided to try and go for it by doing about 80 C.H.E.T.T. List on December 27th, 20 on December 28th, then the last 10 on December 29th. I did do every type of task at least once just to be on the safe side of things, but as others mentioned that does not seem to matter, as long as you complete the 4 tasks on the list to turn then into C.H.E.T.T..

Note: For C.H.E.T.T. Card to drop, you MUST have completed the free-given C.H.E.T.T. List at the start of the weekly reset by C.H.E.T.T.. Don't make the mistake of farming for hours not realizing that you had a C.H.E.T.T. List in inventory or in the bank incomplete and not turned in.

For average pace, expect to spend about ~40 hours minimum to complete 100 C.H.E.T.T. List (combined farming the cards, and completing the fastest tasks on the list). With this info, hope either people forget about the achievement when Midnight is released so you only have to do a few to be considered the highest in the region, or pre-farm a lot and hope you have completed enough lists to be #1 for the Region of that calendar month.

Side Gigs can only be done 4 times a week on the character you are sending the lists on, so use those for very crummy lists with really long tasks if able. Some additional tips such as killing rares, killing Ratspit +the 2 adds counts as killing 3 rares.

With the spur of the moment of when I decided to go for it (the few days post-Christmas), I feel that I got lucky getting this by only doing just a little over 100 in the last few days of the month/year.

The title appears to be accessible on some alts/other characters that did not obtain the achievement(example: I got the achievement on my Prot Warrior alt, but was able to see and equip the title on main, and some other alts randomly that might be eligible based on how far along in the campaign or accessible the zone is)

I was going to add the guy's video which someone already posted in the videos of this achivement! He did 607x C.H.E.T.T. List in November 2025.

I received the achievement on February 1st, 2026 on EU. I farmed 26,080 cards and submitted 656 lists on one character in January.
