From: Cynthia Sandherr 06/02/2000 01:41 PM To: Cindy Olson/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Gwendolyn Petteway/HR/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Joe Hillings/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Follow-up Cindy: As you recall, Steve Kean, Gwen Petteway, you and I met in Houston on May 15th to discuss my job at Enron. It was my understanding that I would receive some response from the company within a week or so after our meeting. Gwen has updated me as to the reasons for the response delay due to key executives being on vacation, but regardless I was led to believe I would have heard some response around May 24th. I am getting concerned and would like to know the company's position. In addition, the Performance Review Process has begun for my group and is to conclude by June 14th. I have spoken to Gwen as to my concerns as to whether I should participate in this review process. Although I did not select them to review me, both Steve Kean and Rick Shapiro have informed by boss, Joe Hillings, or their intentions to review me. Given the concerns raised by me about them during our meeting and concerns expressed to others about them on previous occasions, I have grave reservations as to their ability to provide an objective review of my performance. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further. My number is 202-466-9143. Many thanks. ---------------------- Forwarded by Gwendolyn Petteway/HR/Corp/Enron on 10/01/2000 11:23 PM --------------------------- Gwendolyn Petteway 06/20/2000 08:19 PM To: Cynthia Sandherr/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Conference Call Are you available to talk with me either Thursday (6/22) or Friday a.m (6/23)? ---------------------- Forwarded by Gwendolyn Petteway/HR/Corp/Enron on 10/01/2000 11:23 PM --------------------------- Gwendolyn Petteway 06/27/2000 02:24 PM To: Cynthia Sandherr/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Cindy Olson/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Re: Career Advancement Hi Cynthia. Can you give me idea as to when the House and Senate mark-ups of the electricity bill take place? I am trying to determine the timeframe in which you want to respond to Steve. From: Cynthia Sandherr 06/22/2000 05:51 PM To: Cindy Olson/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Gwendolyn Petteway/HR/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Jocelyne@pdi-corp.com Subject: Career Advancement Dear Cindy: It occurred to me that I should share some addition thoughts and concerns with you regarding my situation. First and foremost, as I tried to make clear during our recent meeting with Steve Kean, it is my desire to stay with the company. I have invested over 10 years with Enron and feel that I have made substantial contributions to its success. However, I continue to be frustrated over the fact that I have been demoted and that there has been no response to or acknowledgement of my application for Joe Hillings' position. If I am, in fact , not going to be considered for the position, I believe I am owed the courtesy of knowing that. I would also argue that I have made significant progress in addressing the "communication issues" that have of recent concern to Steve. I have had a number of productive sessions with Jocelyne Gessner, Ph.D. of Personnel Decisions International on successful executive relations and management, and she informs me that, in her view, my "deficiencies" as perceived by Steve in that area may have been overstated. Dr. Gessner has made numerous attempts to call Steve to discuss my progress in a tripartite conversation and he has not been responsive. While I recognize that Steve is extremely busy, it seems to me that if he, as he stated during our meeting, really wants me to stay with the company, he would make it a point to determine if the issues of his concern were being addressed. If he is not interested in garnering feedback about my sessions, one could reasonably conclude that the perceived "communications problem" is merely a pretext. It also continues to concern me that the restructuring of the Washington office has been done without any written changes to my job description. Many people within Enron with whom I have had a long-standing relationship continue to ask me for lobbying assistance on various issues because they have been satisfied with the results that I have obtained for them in the past. Because some of those issues are now not my primary or secondary area of responsibility, per the new organizational chart, I have been compelled to refer those inquiries and requests to others. In doing so, I fear that this could create a misperception that I am unwilling to provide customer service to others in the company. I am sure that you would agree this could, in the long run, hurt my chances for increased compensation and advancement. The present legislative activity on a number of high-profile Enron legislative issues, including the company's top priority of electricity restructuring, has precluded me from formally responding to Steve's separation offer. While I recognize that it was made in good faith and that it provides a basis for further discussions, I would like to respond after the House and Senate mark-ups of the electricity bill take place. In the meantime, I would welcome any guidance or suggestions that you might have, and I greatly appreciate your interest in my situation.
