Performance Review

Hi, Rick: It is only today that I have discovered you are my "direct boss"
in the context of my performance review. Since the Organizational chart
reflects that I report to Joe Hillings and since I have not been invited to
participate in any of your Direct Report Conference calls nor meetings, I had
no clue until today of this change. In fact, in the almost eleven years I
have worked for Enron, Joe Hillings has always been my "direct boss" in the
context of my performance reviews.

I give you this background only because I feel disadvantaged in not knowing
this sooner. Specifically, there is not a day that goes by when I do not
report directly to Joe Hillings about what I am doing, copy him on memos,
etc. whereas, I rarely, if ever, bother you with this daily reporting. Since
you are, in fact, my direct boss, it seems you should have been copied on all
these memos, updates, etc. instead of or in addition to Joe Hillings plus it
seems I should have been included in the Direct Report meetings and calls.

From this day forward, I will copy you on everything I send to Joe Hillings.
I assume I should continue to copy Joe on everything I send you plus now also
add Linda Robertson? When Linda Robertson comes on board, will I remain a
direct report to you? Should I now begin participating in your direct report
regular phone calls and attend the Direct Report meetings? Please advise.

Further, the Performance Review written policy was understood by me whereby I
select my reviewers who must be a peer or higher, then discuss my selections
with my boss and then together I am advised who my boss agrees will be
reviewing me. This time, apparently non-peers were selected to review me
and I am unaware of the selections made for me (other than those who were
selected who have told me about their selection.) Rick, shouldn't just peers
or higher rate me or has there been a policy change whereby everyone in the
company is now having a 360 review? Further, at least one of those selected
to review me has not worked with me all year since our issue areas never
intersected. Shouldn't only those who have worked directly with me be in a
position to review me?

Those employees whom I have worked with most closely this year who are a peer
or higher include: Joe Hartsoe, Tom Briggs, Joe Hillings, Dean Tarbet, Bill
Votaw and Tom White. I would hope you would ask these folks to conduct a
review on my performance.

I welcome reporting to you. I am just embarrassed to find out about this
good news only today in that I've done little to "report" to you. Joe
Hillings can certainly testify to the fact he has received ample reporting
from me. Again, I will rectify this immediately. Many thanks! Cynthia
