I told him ,in no uncert=in terms it is a no , I categorically vote no. =C2 I called you . you came to see me . I said it was a bad idea. you said you were go=ng to do it anyway , I said and followed up in writing IT IS A =(STAKE . and added Please don't come back to me with anything suggesting=20 otherwise , you and I should be clear I think it is wrong . A v=ry strong NO . you of course can hire whomever you like. <=div> early on I told you I thought Tom remarkably careless . Eil=een goofy and your art lawyer not well informed to say the least. you to=d me Tom was a senior partner. Eileen had headed the trading desk , and Ralp= Lerner had to know what he was doing as he wrote the book. . =1 said I thought you deserved better ,should get better people and no , I am not an HR person. yesterday y=u told me that the reason you have hired whomver you could find was to avoid=20 being dependent on me. a decision by far , not the best place t= try to save money ) Joslin- who you say I hire= . I neither found nor hired. With a two person given choice l=approved joslin over some woman that eileen pref=rred. against my repeated advice you and eileen decided the pay range at under 300k .

I have sent over a hundred emails to you clearly sa=ing he needs to be closely managed by better professionals. ini=ially , that referred to Eillen and Ada.and after= brad. john etc. THere are many emails each and every month from me, telling you , he is slipping failing cracking fragile.. crazy, n=ts, heading towards incompetence. Unless YOU- TAKE ACTION! when I pressur=d him for accurate numbers , you told him, to tell me, that he works for yo= and NOT for me.. When I continued to press for accuracy<=span> from your office , you told me that they were now all afraid o= me and i should let brad communicate any requests, ( you now tell me " we=20 know what Brad is"?).
