Mr. Davenport,
I made a flow chart. That number is approximate.
I can see now why you overlooked me for the manager position. Math has never been my strongest suit.
Devi Sereda
Devi,
I sensed that your coworker’s promotion may have caused some tension between you, that is all. If there’s anything I can do to help ease the transition, let me know.
Dane
Mr. Davenport,
There has never been tension between Lizzie and myself before this day, and we’ve worked together for five years. We’ll be just fine. We’re professionals.
Devi Sereda
Devi,
Since we’re all professionals here, maybe you’d like to go ahead and tell me if you’re upset, so we might address it? My office has an open door policy, and I encourage you to share your concerns.
Dane
Mr. Davenport,
If you happen to have a personal email address where I might converse with you off the record, I’d be happy to answer your pressing questions about how upset I am or am not more candidly.
Devi Sereda
Devi,
I’ve just sent you an email from a personal email address. Feel free to email me there from whatever email you prefer.
Dane
Mr. Davenport,
Spider2008? Is that you?
Devi Sereda
Devi,
Yes.
Dane
Subject: Off The Record
Spider2008,
Was that your stupid car in high school?
You Know Who
You,
