I was one of the first people who Landis and the Director hired after all the
contract work retrofitting the hotel was finished. He figured, if you’re going
to start hiring people, you better find someone with experience doing that, so
they can handle it for you. Prior to this job, I had eight years under my belt
working in Staff Services at various organizations. I wouldn’t have called
myself the best of the best, and that’s what Landis was looking for, I think.
He was working with a tight budget, so he couldn’t waste all his seed money on
someone who would demand mid-six figures. Don’t get me wrong, I knew what I
was doing. He gave me a list of positions he thought that we would need to
work the Foundation, I added to it, we collaborated, and I worked to fill out
the staff. Unlike a lot of other startups, we kind of needed a full staff
right away. We couldn’t just start with a few people, and grow our business
gradually. As soon as the public even caught a wisp of a hint that there
might be someone in Kansas who could possibly even plausibly come
anywhere close to alleviating their conditions even just a little bit, we knew
that they would arrive here in droves for help. We needed people to coordinate
all the visitors, to manage all the finances, to care for the patients, to
support Landis directly, to maintain the facilities, and to reach out to the
community. We’ve added a few brand new positions since then, like the Research
Liaison, and everyone in the Legacy Department, but for the most part, we had
a solid idea of what today would look like. Yeah, I’m just looking at our old
notes, and we were pretty spot on. We did the math, and determined how many
people Landis could heal in one day, which gave us the number of workers we
needed to keep track of them, and we’ve not had to go too far beyond that.
This is the best job I’ve ever had, because I actually feel like I’m making a
difference in the world. I count myself lucky to be on board, and I think
pretty much everyone here would say the same thing. It’s my job to know these
things. If someone were having a problem, I would know about it.
