Dang. I could have just waited to check for 2 days... FML
Sorry for not responding to your other questions. I didn't see them!
In future do reply or tag me so that I know xD
1. If jobs are already loading then it wouldn't be affected by upgrades.
2. I have a tracker in downloads that you can download to use help you with calculations if you wish.

3. If you didn't check it till the following month, you would've been fine. If you don't check your game and you've passed the mark for avatar/trophy, then it'll register it after the month ends.

Will try this out soon. This makes it look easier to try Plushie Tycoon!

I'm on course to get the gold trophy this month because of this guide. This is excellent stuff and fool-proof.
A little calculation of why this will always work if you do everything right.
Let's assume rental costs/tax being constant as you will eventually max everything out and avoid (as far as possible) the tax man.
Every batch of 100 plushies costs you between 3900np (on the lowest end I've seen so far) and 5100np (on the higher end). Let's go with 4500np as a median.
Add to that the cost of shipping which is 278np per 100 plushies. So 4500 + 278 = 4778np
Workforce costs you 5550. Let's assume a batch of 5x100 plushies. (the economies of scale will get way cheaper on this the more you progress and build more batches).
Therefore, per batch of 100 let's say its 555np. Add that to the cost of your batch; 4778 + 555 = 5333np
So total Cost Price per batch of 100 plushies = 5,333np
That's your landed cost for the 100 plushies you just produced with labour and shipping costs. These sell anywhere between 103np(on the lowest end) to 110np(on the highest end) in my experience.
For a batch of 100 plushies, that's 100x103 = 10,300np.
So total Sell Price per batch of 100 plushies = 10,300np
And there you have it.
Cost Price: 5,333np per 100 plushies
Sell Price: 10,300np per 100 plushies
Profit: 4,967np per 100 plushies, or 49.67np per plushie
As long as you don't bankrupt yourself on rents or tax, you will always make a profit selling these.
As you progress you can actually make more than 100 plushies. After you max out the plushies per batch and learn cascading, the profit per plushie soars like crazy. Once you hit the amount of money needed for the gold trophy, just close the page and don't go to the main page again until the month ends and trophy/avatar is awarded.

Oh yeah, of course, into multiple batches. If you play every day with this guide you could be in millions and millions. What I meant to prove about this guide was that even in a batch per 100, there's always profit 99.99% of the times if you do everything right. All you need to get right is the opening few batches and the rent/tax days.

This explanation gave me motivation to try the guide again (I think I forgot to fire workers the first time I tried and was like nahhh).
I decided to get use to things the last couple days of March and ended up getting a bronze trophy and avatar after 4 days of playing at the end of the month lol. I didn't realize you could get a bronze if you place >30.
Anyway, I'm going to give it a real try this month and go for gold. Thanks @(you need an account to see links) for the really simplified guide!
I always deduct -12k from my total before figuring how many plushies I can make, but when should you start accounting for the 12k number changing (going up I assume).
The calculation that usually works on non rent days. Is account for 5550 for the one hour of production for workers, and 278*number of batches of 100 you're going to be shipping, plus 2-4k for safety incase you miscalculate something. On rent days you also have to factor that in.
