cordially

at mindy's request.


To be honest, the past few months have not exactly been a good experience for me. I’ve always worked closely with the associate site manager, and the duties and responsibilities for that role does not exactly appeal to me (unless there’s an expansion in the responsibilities and decisionmaking). The ability to make decisions seems to solely depend on higher up merchants, which I feel impedes our ability to do our jobs. With so many different areas working together, there hasn’t been much negotiation with what each team feels is their priorities (but of course, I know we’re here to protect the bottom line…) This has been something I’ve communicated throughout this site redesign, but I know it’s not exactly something that can be changed. As for now, I’m ok with where I am, but I really appreciate your offer and concern.

Hi Peter,

I appreciate your offer to put me in the running for the Associate Site Manager position, but I’d like to cordially decline.


Thank you,
