Over the next few days, thanks to the efforts of more than a dozen HR staff members,
The company's more than five thousand new employees were reassigned based on their specialties.
Those with engineering backgrounds—over a thousand people—were assigned to the technical group. These people would intern at the newly acquired Alfa Romeo and several other Italian companies, and later be sent to major American companies for internships, or even to American universities for further study. In short, everyone would be put to their best use.
Then there was the liaison group, mostly made up of liberal arts graduates. These people had to learn German, especially technical German. Officially, this was to facilitate communication with prisoners and the repair of German equipment. In reality, it was preparation for the future, as large numbers of German technical experts would eventually come to North Borneo, and these people would become professional translators.
