RE: Hubnik Warning[]
From: Sonja Kratochvil
To: Isabella Trembliska
Isabella,
I am on it. l have had conversations in and out of the office with Mr. Hubnik before. I am still surprised by this whole thing. I think there might be something else going in his life that is not on our radar. Possibly drinking or family related.

Sonja,
Can you work on the first draft of a disciplinary warning for Pavel Hubnik for me? You took down the details, so you know what to write. I told him two days ago that he was getting a warning. He looked more scared and more nervous than I expected.
I would like to give it to him tomorrow.
Thanks,

Subject: Retention Weekly
Ashani,
Here is the weekly report regarding threats to employee retention.
2 employees are being pursued by Chinese company:
• Antonin Baba (Sr. Lavawall Manager), [on his way out anyway]
• Ivana Rackova (Jr. General Engineer)
MEASURES TAKEN:
Antonin Baba (Sr. Lavawall Manager): None. Employee toxic. Will be released after serving a suspension.
Ivana Rackova (Jr. General Engineer) Increased yearly salary, paid "retroactive bonus," and promised a change in job title at the end of the month. Claiming "Accounting error." This has slowed down response time with communication with American competitor. Study shows displeasure with current superior. Probability of retention 72%. Employee worth retaining.
1 employee is currently interviewing for positions with other companies
Lenka Muzik (Software Management)
MEASURES TAKEN:
Lenka Muzik (Software Management): Awaiting response. According to surveillance, the interview went poorly.

Mold Fumigation[]
From: Michelle Duroskova
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
After a study and estimate from two independent inspectors, management has elected to go with the fumigation option for the mold problem in our service corridors.
This option allows the largest area of space to be treated at one time. The inspectors have informed us that we may have to do this process six times a year. The fumigation will only take place during the night shift, so most people reading this e-mail will not be inconvenienced.
TODAY/ TOMORROW: 2nd Floor, West & East Corridor
Next week’s fumigation location will be communicated to you via e-mail.
For those of you who are working during the night shift. There are plenty of risks with fumigation. The lack of residual protection, possible damage of materials, and toxicity. Please use caution and avoid all corridors during fumigation.
Thank you for your co-operation!

Found Praxis Kit[]
From: Isabella Trembliska
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
Recently, a Praxis Kit was discovered in the east maintenance corridor on the third floor. I am to remind you all that under no circumstances are any items related to augmentations permitted within the Palisade Blade facilities. Ownership of such items is grounds for immediate termination as a Palisade employee.
Be advised that we are currently reviewing security footage to determine who this kit belongs to. I highly doubt anyone will come forward to reclaim their property, therefore I am storing the Praxis Kit in my personal safe until our investigation is complete.

Immigration - M. Benitez[]
From: Kamila Nadinskova
To: Sonja Kratochvil
Sonja,
When it comes to MARIANO BENITEZ (who I believe is a Dominican Republic? citizen), we have looked into his medical history and confirmed that he is now aug free.
Below is a breakdown of work permit types for the Czech Republic. You’ll see it’s a little different than the rules you had to deal with in Estonia.
WORK PERMIT TYPES:
Olive Card: Designed to facilitate work authorisation for local contract positions. Applicants may apply for an Olive Card for specific jobs only, which must have been listed for 30 days on in the Central Labour Registry with no interest expressed by an EU/EEA/Swiss national. Applications are made at the consulate in the applicant's country of residence or nationality and do not require employer input.
Teal Card: The Teal card is an alternative for the regular work permit process focusing on highly qualified employees who have, or once had, augmentations. There are several conditions to be met and one of the main conditions when applying for a Teal Card is that prior to applying the applicant must have a signed employment contract for a job requiring a high qualification for a term of at least one year, for the statutory weekly work hours (the agreed gross monthly or annual salary must correspond to at least 2 times the average gross annual salary in the Czech Republic as announced by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs).

The doctor stated a leave of absence for 1-2 weeks minimum. 10 business days is not that bad. From what I know, he was really shaken. I would not be surprised if it will be longer.

Subject: Latest Resignation
Isabella,
I regret to inform you that Zuzana Matejkova has handed me her resignation letter.
She cited the punishment levied against Antonin Baba as the major reason for her resignation. There was a harassment incident that occurred recently involving the two. She was unaware that our plan to replace him was in progress. When I informed her, she did not want to withdraw her resignation.
Here is her resignation letter:
“I regret to inform you that I would like to tender my resignation as Jr. Lavawall Programmer effective today.
I made this decision, not because I'm unhappy with the opportunities you've presented, but because of the punishment handed out in the Antonin Baba situation. I feel that when it came down to choose a side, the Palisade Bank Corporation sided with the harasser instead of the victim. I can no longer work here and believe that it is best we part ways."
CORPORATE IMPACT:
Zuzana Matejkova (victim): Employee considered extremely talented, but replaceable. No larger steps taken for retention. Will continue to work for the next two weeks with restrictions as she closes out some tasks. Lawsuit potential is 60%. Will be monitored for the next two years.
Antonin Baba (harasser): Employee considered vital, but extremely toxic. Has begun suspension and will be released once a replacement has been solidified.

Foreign Datastick - G.S.[]
From: Dominik Jaks
To: Gino Srankov
Mr. Srankov,
Our software shows that you attempted to use a foreign datastick last week. As you are aware, a foreign datastick can compromise the integrity of the Palisade Blade’s security and introduce malicious software.
The foreign datastick was confiscated and analysed outside of the Blade facility. The scan did not detect any traces of malicious software and the device was destroyed.
Our own findings after a thorough investigation (which included a scan of all of your personal communications over the last three years) we find that your actions, although non-malicious, have caused some concern. We will continue to closely monitor your commincations for the next three months. This includes scans for any alterations made to Employee surveillance report issued by you.
As you know, The Palisade Blade has millions of security attacks launched at it hourly. We are vulnerable in ways known and unknown. We had to take strategic measures to protect our operations.
THIS SERVES AS A WRITTEN WARNING. ANY FUTURE USE OF FOREIGN DATASTICKS WILL RESULT IN SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY OR OCCUPATIONAL TERMINATION.
