Cory/Robin,

I just wanted to share the email she sent us and the response I gave her. I didn't want to cc you in since she only sent it to us. But sending it along so we're all on the same page.

Thanks,

Danielle

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you for message and apologizing for last night. We were all taken back by the behavior as it seemed to be out of the blue.

I'm sorry for what you may have going on personally and understand that the outburst may not have been something intended towards us but just a reaction to something else. We are all genuinely concerned for you and want the best for you. Our main focus is simply to move forward in a calm and respectful way for everyone involved.

We are not taking this personally nor do we feel you will do anything suspicious collecting your belongings. With your decision to step away from your position, we’re just following the same standard process we would for any one of us in this situation. It’s intended to be a routine formality rather than anything personal. Similar to us giving Gil the letter, it was a matter of formality.

We genuinely want to keep things positive and respectful, both between us and within the building. We also want to be mindful of your privacy and whatever you may be dealing with.

If and when you feel ready, we’d still be open to having a calm conversation to clear the air. There’s no urgency, just an open door.

We appreciate your understanding and truly wish for things to remain amicable for everyone.

Stay well,

Danielle

I would like to begin by apologizing for my outburst last night. It was uncalled for, and I recognize that the issues I am experiencing should have been addressed in a different manner. I acknowledge that a discussion about how I am feeling would have been more appropriate.

It has come to my attention that I am now required to turn in my key and that I will not be able to empty my office in the amount of time I had expected. This situation has left me feeling abused and disrespected. After spending so many years going above and beyond for everyone and everything in the building, I believed I had earned enough respect to be allowed to move my belongings out in a timely manner.

The current circumstances lead me to believe that I am being viewed with suspicion, as if I might steal something, and that a bodyguard is needed to ensure nothing goes missing. I want to make it clear that I will be out with my belongings this evening, and I will leave the key on the desk as requested. It is truly unfortunate to be treated in this way, and this experience only reinforces the validity of my feelings.
