Petrosea responds<\/p>\n
Thank you for your letter of Sept. 16, 1997 that enclosed a
\ncopy of a letter from a disgruntled former employee of PT
\nPetrosea. We appreciate the professionalism you demonstrated by
\nasking for our response to the letter.<\/p>\n
The circumstances of the termination of Mr. Edi Purwanto were
\nas follows:<\/p>\n
For some period of time, PT Petrosea has been working on a
\nmanagement strengthening plan in conjunction with a management
\nconsultant to increase our Indonesian staff skills to meet our
\nwork commitments. As part of the skills training, the company has
\na large training facility in Balikpapan where over 350 employees
\nreceived training last year. To do the training, we hired Mr.
\nPurwanto to further improve our training program and the use of
\nthis facility in the interest of present and future employees.<\/p>\n
Within days of commencing work (from Aug. 14, 1997 to Sept. 2,
\n1997), Mr. Purwanto took a series of unacceptable actions, which
\nled to complaints from a number of long-serving senior PT
\nPetrosea personnel. After carefully investigating the facts, our
\ncompany decided to terminate Mr. Purwanto during the early stage
\nof his trial period. The reason for the termination was supported
\nby some important considerations complete with evidence.<\/p>\n
We think that it would be unethical to detail the actions Mr.
\nPurwanto took since they may become the basis of court action, if
\nthis is taken. For his other complaint, we need to emphasize that
\nour company has particular policies on our employees. And in
\npractice, we are an equal opportunity employee policy.<\/p>\n
We believe your professionalism will be used to leave this
\nunfortunate matter to take its course through normal legal
\nchannels.<\/p>\n
