Employees should expect review meetings with supervisors in the coming weeks. If necessary, employees can take the initiative to schedule the review with their manager. Verbal notification of bonuses and compensation increases should begin on January 26, and bonus checks will be distributed on February 5. EBS EMPLOYEE JOINS BUSH ADMINISTRATION Quincy Hicks, manager in EBS Public Relations, has recently left the 45th floor of the Enron Building for the East Wing of the White House. Quincy has been named the future First Lady's director of scheduling. Prior to joining EBS, Quincy had worked as chief of staff for First Lady Barbara Bush following her White House years. First Lady Elect Laura Bush is reportedly filling her White House staff with veterans from her mother-in-law's administration. HOLIDAY HELPERS EBS once again displayed its giving spirit. During the month of December, Kevin Hannon led a group of EBS volunteers to SEARCH, an organization that responds to the needs of the homeless by providing them with job training, housing, education, and medical support. EBS volunteers wrapped and presented holiday gifts to SEARCH clients. The gifts, donated by EBS, included jackets and other cold weather clothing. To celebrate the season in Portland, the EBS office housed the Giving Tree. The tree was decorated with tags bearing children's holiday wishes. EBS employees were able to select a tag and fulfill a child's wish. The tree was picked clean, and more than 125 gifts were sent to children at the Morrison Center, a family services organization that focuses on breaking the cycle of abuse. EBS employees make a difference in their communities everyday in different ways, including volunteering and donations to their favorite charities. Enron has made it even easier for our employees to make a difference through the Matching Gifts and Volunteer Incentive Programs (VIP). Click here to read more on Enron's giving programs. EBS WELCOMES NEW EMPLOYEES Surgient Networks Secures $57 Million in Second-Round Funding Cisco Systems and Enron Broadband Services top the list of investors Surgient Networks, an innovative company with a new architecture for content delivery network applications, has received $57 million in second-round funding as it moves ahead with its product development and planned deployment in mid-2001. Trade Route As bandwidth prices plummet, some telecom players are betting on electronic trading platforms to bring efficiency to the market. For Kevin Hannon, chief operating officer of Enron Broadband Services, falling bandwidth prices are welcome news. With bandwidth becoming a perishable commodity and prices in a free fall, the only hope for telecom carriers is a trading platform where bandwidth can be bought and sold for future delivery. That way, they can hedge against price fluctuations and quickly unload surplus bandwidth. Enron is building such a platform. The Longest Last Mile ...Processing power of PCs and set-top boxes in homes is increasing. And companies like Enron Broadband Services, Akamai Technologies, and Inktomi are installing servers and routers all over the country to minimize the length of fiber a movie must travel to get to the living room -- the so-called last mile... HOLIDAY TIME Enron offices will be closed January 15th in observation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
