Staffing Arrangments
“Okay, so how can we make sure that our press releases are getting out?” Derek asked, still unsure about some of what his new job would entail.
“It’s simple, isn’t it? We have to make sure that none in the Muggle World discover any of our secrets,” Penelope blew her gum before finishing “duh.” with a small snap her gum popped having been blown into a perfectly spherical shape.
“Don’t be so mean, Penelope, what is our role here?” JJ chided her sister before turning her full attention to Seth.
“Thank you. Here we make sure that any of the mishaps that could endanger the secrecy of the Wizarding World are kept hushed up. Our workers here have contacts through to the various departments in the Ministry. At the same time, we have some connections to those within the Press in the Muggle World, so if we need to, we can leak information to those who we deem as needing to know what goes on.” Seth explained before nodding at Spencer.
“Right, but why does a department within Ministry take care of all of this? Wouldn’t it make more sense for them to be concerned about their own messes?” Spencer questioned, looking a little frazzled with all of the new information he was taking on.
“You’d think, no our owners turned this Firm private, but we do frequently work hand in hand with the Ministry.” Donna had joined them as Seth tried to work his way through some of the questions.
“Wouldn’t that make it slightly inefficient with us not being able to get our marching orders directly from the source?” Spencer pressed.
“You’d think, but the current state of Muggle Education that passes as acceptable in Hogwarts is in a word shameful. It’s easier if we do it here if needs be we can pass outside the normal chain of command” Toby remarked, his hair already messed up “that doesn’t mean that the Ministry won’t occasionally lean on us. Especially when it comes to community service, but nothing you need to worry about, for now, we’ve got it covered.”
Seth winced thinking of what he may have missed while he was showing the new staff members around. He did wonder what his boss might be hinting at, considering that Toby was rapidly losing some of his hair, it was a wonder what served to stress him out even more.
He just hoped that it wouldn’t be that bad.
Slim hope of that though he knew.
