I know that we have base salary issues that we would have to deal with. I basically told everyone to drop it when Mike proposed his numbers. Again, the offer to you and him were not meant to be insulting but meant to offer something a year early as we did with a handful of other folks. We naively thought that these would be accepted quickly. For everyone else that got offered a re-up a year early, they did exactlty that. Let me know if you want to discuss it further. -----Original Message----- From: Belden, Tim Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 9:03 AM To: Lavorato, John; Oxley, David; Kitchen, Louise Subject: Swerzbin Comp where do we stand now? last i heard was an e-mail from oxley (which is on lotus notes and not accessible anymore) which said that we don't think that we are going to get there, but hold on for a few more days while we finalize our decision and craft a really nice decline speech. it's been a few weeks now, and i am checking status. do you still want to offer him the initial contract? i doubt he'd take it but i need to know. what would you change with his proposal that would be acceptable? i think that mike has taken this negotiation seriously and deserves a timely resolution.
