After Ves interviewed the sixth candidate, he had already started to lose interest in the particulars of the candidates.
Prior to this day, Ves treated every lead designer as a treasure and a high-value investment. Each of them deserved to receive his personal attention because of their importance and their scarcity.
Now that the Design Department was about to welcome a lot of new Journeyman Mech Designers at once, they should no longer be as scarce as before!
As such, Ves already felt it was not worth his time to befriend and familiarize himself with every individual lead designer.
"Should we even call them lead designers by this time?"
It may be wise for Ves to reorganize the Design Department and add additional layers to the hierarchy. It would be stupid to contend with 30 so-called lead designers at the same time!
