Even though we had weeks to prepare for the worst, when the layoffs occurred, it really hit me hard. I cried a great deal, not only about the uncertainty of my future, but for the loss of relationships and friendships that I had established over the last five years I spent at Enron. The hardest aspect of yesterday was saying "goodbye" to my friends and co-workers. We've all made a resolution to stay in touch and hopefully we will all pick up the pieces and carry on with our lives. I appreciate the efforts that were made to get us some severance, but as you are well aware, gave so much of ourselves to the company and lost so much in return.. I'm sure I'm not alone in encouraging you and Enron management to continue to push for additional severance for those of us who lost our jobs. This is a hard time to hit the street looking for a job, while Continential, Compaq and now Enron have downsized and the holidays are upon us. I know you have probably received this kind of message many times in the last few weeks, but I hope you will continue to do the right thing for the employees. We need the additional severance to be able to ensure food on the table and roofs over our heads until we can land on our feet after this free fall. I will never regret my 5 years at Enron. They are an important part of my past. I appreciate your consideration of this request. Sincerely, Kathleen Pope-Sance ex-Manager Enron Energy Services ksance@swbell.net
