Re: Performance Review

Rick: thanks for your phone call today and for agreeing to add the names I
requested to review me. In addition, you asked me to remind you to please
add Mark Taylor to my list. I worked with Mark this year on CEA reform but
I had not originally listed him since our dealings were on an issue not
assigned to me yet referred to me in my colleague's absence.

Rick, I understand system mistakes occur but I remain concerned that I am
being singled out and that I received no prior notification of changed
policy. Since no one else in my D.C. office group was subject to the system
mistake, no one else in my immediate group will experience a 360 review.
Further, is it possible for you to disclose who else you have asked to review
me? Again, I do not think it fair for people to be asked to evaluate me who
have no knowledge of my performance. Such a system results in a popularity
contest and not a performance review.

Since you agreed in August to immediately raise any concerns or problems
directly with me and since you have not raised anything to date, I recognize
the issues I am raising are likely moot. However, I thought it important to
register my concerns with you as they occurred. Many thanks for your
immediate response to my concerns. I greatly appreciate it. Cynthia

You report directly to Joe as of today- it's a systems issue,i.e; mistake (
your's is not the only mistake) that has you on the review list for me. As
of Monday Nov. 6, 2000, you report directly to Linda Robertson. I believe a
360 degree review is the objective in this process- In addition to reviewers
that I have selected, I will add the names you have sugggested, some of which
I had already included. Please feel free to page me at 888-740-9949 if you
wish to discuss,

Subject: 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
