Raul is doing a fantastic job inspiring us to carry on with our road toward wellness. The challenge was not easy but it helped me to have more discipline and to believe in myself. I hope we continue having these types of activities!"

Natalie Raudales HONDURAS

It was also an example of self-discipline, a path I aim to continue following. Overall, the challenge served as a catalyst for individual growth and a shared commitment to a healthier lifestyle. It was a great initiative!"

What if number8 just got the rights to film a movie about Timetrack?

And even better, what if it was nominated for a prize!

Well we have the answer for you. Here are the nominees for the number8 Oscar Mau award...

Andres Meza Costa Rica

Title: Race Against TimeTrack Synopsis: In a world where time is literally money, a brilliant but disorganized software engineer, Alex Mercer, finds himself in a race against the clock after inadvertently discovering a glitch in TimeTrack, the world's most advanced time-tracking system. As the glitch begins to distort time, causing hours to disappear and reappear unpredictably, Alex, along with a diverse team of programmers and a savvy project manager, must navigate a series of high-stakes corporate challenges and complex code to fix the system. With their careers and the balance of time itself on the line, the team embarks on a thrilling journey through the digital landscape, where every second counts and the line between reality and virtuality blurs.

As they close in on the root of the problem, they uncover a deeper conspiracy, learning that TimeTrack is more than just a tool for measuring productivity—it's the key to a powerful technology that could control the very essence of time."

Cast: IT Team, Andres as Alex Mercer, Natalie or Nelly as the PM

Gustavo Andrade Brazil

Synopsis: In the near future, there's this brilliant software engineer, Mau Maroles (played by Mauricio Morales), who invents an amazing system called "TimeTrack". It's not just about tracking work hours; it can actually control time itself, affecting the past, present and future.

At first, everyone thinks it's fantastic, like a game-changer for the corporate world, because it can increase developers productivity, work-life balance and deliveries. But things take a dark turn as big companies want to control TimeTrack for their own gain. So, Mau has no choice instead of going underground to protect his creation.

Meanwhile, a bunch of rebellious developers, led by this cool guy known as "The Timekeeper" (played by Bryan Fernández), wants to spill the beans on how TimeTrack was made. They believe it's got this huge potential to mess with time on a global scale, representing the end of the world as we know it. The movie goes on with thrilling time-travel adventures, epic battles between developers and CEOs, and some head-spinning paradoxes that make you question reality itself. It's a race against time to figure out if TimeTrack is a force for good or a disaster. So, Mau Maroles has this important choice to make: use TimeTrack for the greater good or destroy it and make sure no one can ever mess with it again. What's gonna be?

Cast: Mauricio Morales - the (evil?) creator of TimeTrack Bryan Fernandez - The TimeKeeper Andrés Meza & Cindy Fallas - The first people to realize the danger Hugo Dantas, Daniel Morales & me - some of the rebellious developers

Darenth Teran Panama

Synopsis: In the uproarious workplace comedy "Timetrack Troublemakers," a zany management team finds themselves on the brink of madness as they battle a ragtag group of consultants with a peculiar aversion to submitting their timesheets on time via the infamous Timetrack. With time tracking becoming the bane of their existence, the management group embarks on a comical journey of wacky interventions, including enlisting a zen master to teach the art of "time-bending," resorting to bribes involving an endless supply of office snacks, and even launching a "Timesheet Dance-Off" competition that has the office floor grooving like never before. As the chaos unfolds, sidesplitting mishaps and misadventures ensue, leaving audiences in stitches while rooting for the quirky crew to finally achieve timesheet harmony. "Timetrack Troublemakers" is a riotous ride through the absurd world of office antics that'll have you rolling with laughter from start to finish!

And the Oscar Mau goes to:
