“Well, you’ve been told now.” Carl didn’t look at him as he waved to catch Liam’s attention. “Take a breather, Liam. I need a word with Mr. Munro.”
Liam gave a shrug, barely glancing at Jason, and put the weights down. He was rolling his arms back as the two men left the room, Carl closing the door behind him.
“I’ve been trying to find replacements for some time now, but at that time we didn’t have the money for their salaries, and it wasn’t fair to bring them on and get paid for far less than their current jobs.”
“Money is the reason that this wasn’t resolved ages ago?”
“Essentially. You should know how bad the account for the team was when you signed up. You bought Wenstown Wolves, after all.”
Jason had seen the account, and he had been shocked how deep in the red they were. It was a good thing he had more than enough money to deal with the debts without making a dent in his own account, or the team would be screwed. He needed to take a closer look at everything.
“Well, that shouldn’t be an issue now. We need the staff, so we need to hire people.”
“That’s going to be easier said than done.”
“Even with money to pay them?”
Carl nodded. “We’re in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska. Who’s going to come here to work with us?”
Jason snorted. “Why so pessimistic? If we have a good salary and perks, then we’ll get plenty of interest.”
“Perks?” Carl scoffed. “We have no perks. I’m surprised we’ve managed to keep those who work here already.”
“Then we’re going to have to change that, aren’t we?”
“If you can manage that, go right ahead. You’re going to have a lot on your hands if you do that, though.”
Jason knew that, but he hadn’t got to where he was in life by not taking risks and expanding his ideas. He had done it with his other business ventures, and he could do it again. He knew it.
“How many staff do we need to find? Is it just the physical therapists?”
“As far as I know. Melinda will have the exact details, and the resumes of those we’re interested in.”
“Okay, I’ll head back to the office and look through them.”
Carl arched an eyebrow. He looked bemused. “You’re going to do it yourself?”
“Of course. This is my team now, isn’t it? What do you expect me to do? Sit in my office and twiddle my thumbs while signing checks? That sounds boring, even to me.”
“Well, isn’t that what you’re supposed to do for us now?”
Jason ignored that. He wasn’t going to get into an argument about his new deal, and Carl was a little intimidating with that scowl he seemed to have permanently on his face.
“I’ll focus on the physical therapists first. Is there anything you’re looking for in particular, or do you not care?”
“For the most part, I don’t care. However, I do have a recommendation that I hope you’ll take into account.”
“You have someone in mind?”
“Well, sort of.” Carl rubbed the back of his neck. “She hasn’t submitted a resume here, but I want her on the team.”
Jason couldn’t help but smile. “I thought we headhunted and stole away star players. I didn’t realize it applied to the staff as well.”
“Let’s just say she would be perfect, and I want her on the team.”
“Her?”
Carl nodded in the direction of the stairs. “Melinda has the name. You can look her up yourself. Let’s just say that she’s just what we need for the team, and if you can get her onto the payroll, you’re a better man than I thought you were.”
