Weather here is cold but clear, so I am enjoying it. Very useful trip - they have my schedule very full, including dinners every night. I will be in the office through end of day Thursday, and then dinner with Fernley Thursday night. I will be in route to Houston on Friday - catching a 9:00am flight (told the kids that I would be at the airport at 2:00 am Houston time to start back home). We are not going to follow the Kean/Olson memo on communicating ratings. We will only communicate Needs Improvement and Issues. There will be differing messages for needs improvement which fit the situation - some need to hear that they are not performing at a high enough level relative to peers to help us achieve business goals or for them to considered for a bonus (may need to find another role within or outside Enron which is a better fit). Message to someone new to Enron in that category should be different. Glad they are here; believe that as they learn the organization and their job that they will be able to make significant contributions; doing the right thing to learn the business, but that contributions to date are not significant enough to warrant payment of a bonus... Thanks for getting everyone on the same page on this. --Sally Bob M Hall@ENRON 01/16/2001 05:37 PM To: Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Good Morning. Hope you had a good flight to London and that the trip is going well. Just a quick question about communication of rankings. ARE WE???? Hector seems to think not, yet the memo from Steve and Cindy says something about sat and needs improvement. Just let me and I'll make sure we are all on the same page. thanks bob
