@SiroHiro - First, you need to get someone to add you as a friend on AG. The live chat can be really helpful for this. Once they've added you, they will automatically become an employee after you reload the game.
@Moegreche, thank you for your reply. I've got people to add me, and I have reloaded my game. It still shows the same thing when I enter the office, and does the same thing when I click the button as well. In fact, the live chat is what suggested that I make the forum post for help.
