Steven J Kean@ENRON 05/23/2001 06:40 PM To: Michelle Cash/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mary Joyce/Enron@EnronXGate cc: Subject: Conversation with Wanda Curry Today, Mary Joyce and I met with Wanda Curry. I realize that there is some concern that Wanda is a litigation threat, so for the purposes of soliciting legal advice and in anticipation of litigation, I am forwarding my recollection of today's meeting to you: Wanda remains very emotional about what she perceives as "unfair and discriminatory" treatment. When I asked her what she meant specifically (and did she intend those terms to have their legal meaning), she said that she did not intend the legal meaning of those terms; rather, she, on a "personal" level, felt that the company should have treated her better. She mentioned specifically: that no one ever called to explain in detail why she had not been further promoted at Enron or given more responsibility at Enron, that she viewed the job in Sally Beck's organization as unsatisfactory (because Sally should be treated as a peer, not a superior), and that she felt as though she did not have the support of upper management of the company. I described several options for her: Take the job she was offered in Sally Beck's organization; Take the job in Rick Buy's organization (I said I would have to talk to Rick again) Take severence under the standard package; Take severence as a "business reorg" but consult with Enron for a period. At first she seemed most interested in the fourth option (although she wasn't particularly happy about any of the alternatives), but at the end of the discussion expressed interest in the second option. A large part of the conversation involved discussion of Wanda's complaints about how she had been treated. Most of Wanda's concerns focussed on jobs she did not get, or jobs she felt were taken from her, reduced scope of control, and the fact that she felt that her supervisors did not communicate with her sufficiently prior to or subsequent to making their decisions about job assignments. I suggested that there were likely two sides to the story and that most of the problem was insufficient communication or perhaps some insensitivity. I also pointed out that in all my conversations I heard good things about her performance and had no indication that anyone had treated her unfairly. Wanda did complain about many things, but never once complained about her pay at Enron. Mary, these are my recollections from today. Do you have anything to add?
