The first is marked FREE, and displays the list of available personnel who have
not yet been hired. The next four buttons have the names of the four depart-
ments on them, and clicking on them displays a list of executives hired to each
area. Selecting a person from one of the departments allows you to fire him or
her, or display that person’s tiles again. The buttons are highlighted to show
which area you are currently reviewing.
Elysia Sybarrite and her staff are constantly trying to find new talent for you,
and different people apply. There should always be a supply of all four execu-
tive types, but if you run out, then wait a bit and your staff will locate more.
When a new person is added to the FREE list, his or her name will be high-
lighted until you either hire that person to a specific area or view his or her per-
sonnel file. At the start of the game you will not have dealt with anyone, so all
of the names will be highlighted in the FREE list.
While this list will be constantly replenished as you hire
people away from it,
people who are on the list for too long will eventually
find other work and will
no longer be available.
You can jump from a list to any other list at any time by simply clicking on the
correct button. Each list shows the names and availability of each person on it.
Any person who has received a specific assignment within his or her department
will have a star displayed beside his or her name.
You can only hire people from the FREE list. Also, mining foremen can only be
assigned to the Mining area, research project managers can only be assigned to
the Research area, military officers can only be hired to the Military area, and
SIN agents can only be hired to the SIN area.
To hire someone from the FREE list, use the Holo-pointer to select the desired
name, then click on the button labeled HIRE and the Executron will contact that
person, letting him know that he or she hired to the appropriate area. For exam-
ple, if the person’s occupation was mining foreman, he will be automatically
hired to the MIN area.
When someone is hired, that person’s name will be removed from the FREE list,
and will be placed in the appropriate one for whichever area he was hired to.
Also, the Executron will send you a message confirming the action you have
just completed.
You can also click on HIRE when viewing someone’s personnel file. If you do,
the person whose tile you are viewing will be hired to the appropriate area, and
the Executron will remove his or her file as if you had clicked on LIST (see
16
above). The text box will display the FREE list and the person’s name will have
been moved to the appropriate department.
To
fire someone from a department, you must start by looking at the personnel
list of that person’s department (see above for looking at lists of different areas).
Select the desired name; the Executron will place a box around that name. Then
select the FIRE button with the Holo-pointer. That person will be sent walking
papers by the Executron. He or she will also be removed from the personnel list
for that area.
When someone is fired from an area the Executron adds the person’s name back
to the FREE list. Also, the Executron will give you a confirmation at the mes-
sage bar.
When you hire someone you must pay that person. The new employee’s
monthly wages comes out of the budget for the area to which he or she was
hired. The new employee can then be given an assignment within each area.
