âRespectfully, I doubt Hillview would operate if I worked a forty-hour week,â Faber said.
âYeah, thatâs a big problem, but itâs not yours to solve,â Caleb said. âAnd I get that itâs also not going to be solved immediately, just by telling you to work less. Thatâs why weâre tackling specific workflow issues, ones that youâre so used to, the time they take from you have become invisible. Itâs also normal to feel resistant to changing things like that, when youâre used to working at 200% capacity.â
Faber loathed that he could see the logic in it, but he was certain Caleb was still wrong.
âAnyway!â Caleb said. âIâve talked to Marikit, Lachlan, and Nora, and they all now have a stronger idea of what theyâre to contact you for. Marikit and Lachlan are now fully in charge of resourcing for themselves when supply lines go down. Noraâs going to contact you for all the websites and notifications you have set-up for blanket and laundry sales, as well as the people you use for repairs when the washers and stuff go down. Going forward, if any of the alpha companions contact you about just âgrabbingâ something for them, you forward the request onto Marikit or Lachlan, whoever is here on the day.â
âWhat about after-hours requests?â Faber said sharply, resisting the urge to hit something â or someone â very, very hard.
âFaber, should you be here, for those after-hours requests? Given you donât log those hours?â
Faber glared at Caleb, and he hated that Calebâs expression was so fucking open and unbothered. Like none of Faberâs petty, stupid emotions affected him.
âThere comes a point,â Caleb said quietly, leaning back in his chair, âwhere the alpha companions learn that this isnât a 24-7 room service facility. Itâs an omega rehabilitation facility. Their ability to acquire some gourmet treat from the kitchen, whether for themselves or their omega, can genuinely wait until the next day. Of course for emergencies, we always have a nurse on-call overnight. But Iâd bet real money that most of the overnight requests are just people getting used to thinking they can ask for things they donât actually need.â
âThe comfort of the alpha companions and the omegas on-site is important.â
âThe comfort of all the workers here, and the omegas, is important,â Caleb said.
âThis is, what, your third day on the job,â Faber snarled. âDo you think Dr Gary would agree with any of this? Or Temsen?â
âI think Dr Gary showed so little interest in the true workings of a facility like this that he dumped it all on you, so he didnât have to think about it. I know he was dealing with a lot, and theâŠstrain of having to talk to the sponsors, and the people who drop the omegas off, is a heavy burden, but thatâs still what he did. And then I think everyone knows that Temsen prefers being a doctor over a CEO, because he told literally everyone how he felt about it. So, actually, if they do disagree with me, Iâd almost welcome the opportunity to have a really serious talk about upper management at Hillview.
âBecause itâs funny, really, that Iâve taken multiple courses on the subject, and neither of them has ever taken a single one. It shows. Trust me.â
