Good game but with the slowest start in any idle game I've ever played

I feel like the game should give you some sentences to type so that you feel like you're accomplishing something rather than just button mashing randomly.

game should start with $10 so you can buy 1 employee instead of mashing the keyboard for awhile

Noticed that quite a few people liked your idea so i have changed the starting cash to $10, thank you and the people who up-voted this for the feedback :)

Some suggestions for enhancing gameplay:
1) add commas to separate the different monetary incriments. ie, x,xxx,xxx for 'x' million and x,xxx for 'x' thousand. This makes is easier to find out how much money you actually have.
2) When anything is open, it covers how much money you actually have, thus making it difficult to see what you can and can't afford. Add you current amount to each screen where you purchase something.
3) I can't remember how many employees of each type I have to fire, or if I fired them all until I get back to the main screen. Perhaps add a number of each you currently own on the employees tab.
4) Good job so far :)

Not only does the bar fill too slow manually, it's kind of annoying that it doesn't work with the mouse.
