For the next few days, Gray spent most of his time looking at people's resumes.
He'd start each morning the same way.
He would have a black coffee in hand, sleeves rolled up, and his laptop open on the desk. The hiring portal was already filled with PDF files of resumes.
For two days straight, the notifications never stopped.
New applicants came in every few hours.
There were some long-time employees from other companies hoping to have a new opportunity. There were also a few independent small shop owners who were now looking for a more stable job. There was even a former employee who had managed a school canteen who wrote, "I don't know how corporate this job is, but I know how to manage people who are tired and hungry."
Gray couldn't help but chuckle at that one.
By the end of the second day, his desktop was filled with notes. Color-coded tabs, shortlists, annotations, and a simple tracker sheet with names and timestamps for those he wanted to meet.
