[Sbs] [EXTERNAL] Re: RC meeting

[Brian Quinn]

Hi Bogdan,

      I want to address the way you spoke to Alexandre at Tuesday's first RC meeting.  I understand that you are stressed by worries about whether everything will be ready on time.  I share those concerns.   But the way you spoke with Alexandre, by firing a series of questions at him and then not allowing him to answer them, was anything but productive.  I've spoken with other people who were in the meeting who had the same impression as me, that this was harassment, not any productive exchange.  If I had realized sooner how this 'conversation' was evolving into abuse, I would have expressed my objection at the time.  I'm sorry I didn't think fast enough to do so.

      Regardless of your concerns, I believe you owe Alexandre an apology for such treatment.   In future, a more reasonable way to express such concerns would be to give him a written list of questions well in advance and to sit quietly while he addresses them.

      We are all under stress trying to get the experiment ready to run.  That is not an excuse to vent our stress on other people.

                        Regards,
                        Brian
