Rick, thanks for the note. I will be in touch with you and Stefan Diescher on
this. The issue I have been faced with, however, is simply this: I am covering power and gas for three countries on my own. The demands on my time have been enormous and I have given Viviana as much of my time as possible. Indeed, at the last PRC, there was significant pressure to place her in the "has issues" category and I resisted on the grounds that she needed more time to find her stride. We have had a number of long meetings where I have noted in detail what my expectations are and provided her with suggestions on how to improve. This has included helping her outline a research paper how to write a slide presentation, what research sources to go to, how to extract information from people on the phone. In a better world I would spend more time with her to bring her along, but I am horribly stretched and need a researcher who is more effective to help me get the job done. I have also gotten other feedback (including from the head of the Frankfurt office) that has been rather negative. My view is that rather than prolong the mutual agony, we should begin the process of managing her out and helping her secure more appropriate employment outside the firm. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Paul Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. From: Richard Shapiro @ ENRON 15/05/2001 13:13 To: Paul Hennemeyer/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Viviana Florio I heard more about Viviana before I left London last week and apparently her concern she was'nt being properly guided or mentored- despite her apparent current performance and your lack of time, I think we do owe her an action plan at mid-year at the latest and a decent opportunity to redeem herself. Please let me know how I can be of assistance. Thanks.
