All throughout January, Dean and his two partners busied themselves with the backlog of orders accumulated over the Christmas holidays, but thankfully, four new employees joined the team a week later.
They were all computer enthusiasts, and after Byte Software offered a slightly higher salary than the market rate, these young people began calling to inquire about recruitment.
Eventually, Dean hired four of them at an hourly rate of 8 US Dollars, which was considered a high salary in 1990, especially since the federal government's minimum wage was only around 3.5 US Dollars.
With the addition of these four individuals, Dean was instantly relieved from the overwhelming business matters. Teams was easy to operate, and the training process was relatively simple.
After an intensive three-day training, these engineers were already capable of handling the software installation work within the enterprise.
