(though you ,calling me ,Debra , did take away some\nofthe sting) Iam sorry to see you this way.\n\nemblematic ; I was asked to opine on whether to hire castrucci. an hour after I gave a preliminary yes. . I\ncalled you then texted you that i had thought more about it and changed my mind. The next day brad called\nand asked for my vote. I told him ,in no uncertain terms itisano , I categorically vote no. I called\n\nyou . youcame to see me. I said it was a bad idea. you said you were going to do it anyway , I said and\nfollowed up in writing ITIS A MISTAKE. and added Please don't come back to me with anything suggesting\notherwise , you and I should be clear I think it is wrong . A very strong NO . you of course can hire whomever\nyou like.\n\nearly on I told you I thought Tom remarkably careless . Eilleen goofy and your art lawyer not well informed to\nsay the least. you told me Tom was a senior partner. Eileen had headed the trading desk , and Ralph Lerner had\nto know what he was doing as he wrote the book. . I said I thought you deserved better ,should get better\npeople and no , am not an HR person. yesterday you told me that the reason you have hired whomver you\ncould find was to avoid being dependent on me. a decision by far , not the best place to try to save money )\nJoslin- who you say I hired. I neither found nor hired. With a two person given choice I approved joslin over\nsome woman that eileen preferred. against my repeated advice you and eileen decided the pay range at under\n300k. I told you at that time that I would personally pay the difference for a higher quality person, that was\nyears ago. I have sent over a hundred emails to you clearly saying he needs to be closely managed by\nbetter professionals. initially , that referred to Eillen and Ada.and after, brad. john etc. THere are\nmany emails each and every month from me, telling you , he is slipping failing cracking fragile. . crazy, nuts,\nheading towards incompetence. Unless YOU- TAKE ACTION! when I pressured him for accurate numbers ,\nyou told him, to tell me, that he works for you and NOT for me.. When I continued to press for accuracy from\nyour office , you told me that they were now all afraid of me and i should let brad communicate any requests, (\nyou now tell me \" we know what Brad is\"?). When I told you you office needs to be reviewed and changed you\ntold me i was being destructive rather than constructive. when 1 ultimately confronted joslin, in an attempt to\nprotect you, told him that his numbers were wildly inaccurate , you told me that i had caused his ultimate\nresignation and now have an affirmative obligation to fill in the resultant gap.\nI did give you a bad number , and apologized as soon as i realized it. an error that was an embarrassment for me\n, the fact that that the accurate number is still way below what you agreed to pay , has fallen by the\nwayside.( the preposterous argument that the end of year transaction was Alans idea , which you now know\nwas not true and that me not receiving Phaidon documents was unexplainable. was your justification\nthough, for non - full payment )\n\nHopefully You will recall that when you initially asked for my help. I declined repeatedly with the\nadmonition that that having a financial arrangement is fraught with danger and could complitcate our\nfriendship (as you will be unhappy paying what you will view as a large sum. while choosing to ignore"}]
