Sandalwood’s offer to KML was an opportunity for her to get
her feet on the ground and go back to school and get some
type of higher education (with Don’s help). Don wants her
to be successful here or in whatever she does. (Don would be my father)

In hind site I believe that we made the offer of part-time
employment so attractive that college didn’t seem important
or interesting. Money became the important object and the
flexibility very comfortable along with health insurance,
sick and vacation time. (I hate that
these things are being said. I took this job because I
thought it offered me an excellent opportunity to learn
something new. When taking this job SOG knew I needed the
job not only for money to save for school but also because
I wanted to do something different.)

KML is young and has no previous experience so she lacks
the professionalism that I think SOG needs at this time,
especially with the type of investors who are involved in
the SOG 2001 Program. (SOG knew before
offering me the job that I had no previous knowledge with
secretarial skills. That’s why I am being taught how do
certain things, along with doing many other things I
already know how to do at the same time.)

My mother told me 20 years ago that “the receptionist is a
very important position in a company because you are the
first impression of that company”. I’ve never forgotten
that statement. (“Office manager which
is my boss trying to suck up to the head honcho” Kristin
thinks)

KML doesn’t have the passion for SOG that I think one needs
to work in a small office setting like ours. I can’t make
her feel the way I do about this company and her job and to
give 100% when she’s here. (What? I
bust my behind off everyday trying to better myself as an
employee of SOG. I live an hour away and if I didn’t have
the “passion for SOG” why the heck do I spend 2-3 hours of
my time each day in a car driving across town?)

SOG runs lean and I don’t see KML going that extra mile to
do the right thing and take pride in here work (in certain
areas). We all need to have the same common goals and
desires. (Well, if the communication in
this office would be better maybe our goals could be the
same.)

I know all of these things come with experience but the
questions remain:

1) Does SOG have the time and resources to give so
that she can be successful?
2) Do we have the time and energy to spread our
resources around to make sure everything is like our staff
was accustomed?
3) Does KML really WANT to work as a
receptionist/secretary or is it the need for an
income?

My concerns are:

1) She spends a lot of time on the Internet and email.
(Taking care of the company website &
checking emails from partners who email me things about
every 30 mins. Or so)
2) She hasn’t explored and familiarized herself with
our office so I’m interrupted to show her where things are
(still). (If something comes up that I
have never seen or done before I ask so that I will know
for next time when it does come up again.)
3) She hasn’t made FBP & AWA feel confident that
things will be handled timely and effectively so they are
reluctant to hand things off to her therefore they give
them to me. (I am sorry but when you
give me a layout that you want in Excel and I haven’t
worked in that program before it’s going to take time for
me to do. If they would hand me stuff and know I have never
worked with a program before maybe they could be more
confident and (you the office manager) wouldn’t be so
bogged down and you could stop complaining about me.)

4) I’m not sure that I can be persuasive enough to get
her on the same page with us but am willing to try one more
time.

Please understand that I want what is best for SOG.

If what I have stated is not inappropriate legally – I
would like to take one last opportunity to share our
concerns with her and let her make a decision of whether or
not she wants to make the effort to change or find another
place of employment. We’ve not really asked her what her
goals are.

On another issue: I want to be effective for whomever I
work with. I truly appreciate the opportunity that SOG is
offering me to move more into the Land Department but it is
out of my comfort zone. I am very willing to learn but I
want Phil to be comfortable as with me. I’m not sure what
his expectations are, but if he feels the need to have an
assistant who already has land experience who can hit the
ground running, I will certainly understand. Maybe that’s
your part-time person.
