Oh. Ok.
So I show up at the office at all between now and 7/15?
If I do is it for a few hours?
What if I can accomplish everything on the transition plan- what's my end date.
Sorry. Have a lot going on

We're not firing you so don't worry about getting 60 day notice. I thought we agreed the best
approach at this point is to let you focus on a transition to get the best outcome for all.

I was under the impression I was getting a 60 day notice.
Didn't think that triggered a cancellation clause because it would be within my term.
Am I off?

Subject: Transition Schedule
Sal,
Attached. Great seeing you as always - and every restaurant was a
home run.
As mentioned, my transition schedule, at my discretion to
accelerate, would end no later than 7/15. It could end sooner at
my choosing (with the exception of one item requiring my
availability on 7/15). I am not going to choose any accelerated
schedule until all matters with CC/FDC are put to bed.
Best,
j

I spoke to sal and he said the only availability is Monday am. He is taking his family on vacation Tuesday 8/13 to
the following Tuesday 8/20. He recommended a bunch of **Michelin star** rated restaurants for lunch- Marea,
Le Bernardin, Per Se. Per Se is not typically open for lunch, but they will have a private lunch for your
group of 10 on Monday.

Key Observations and Context:
- Intent and Communication: The text messages reveal Jared Isaacman's concerns about his departure from Shift4, his communication with legal counsel (via intermediaries), and his transition schedule. The forwarding of emails to legal counsel is particularly significant, as is his concern about keeping records.
- Relationship with Sal Agostinelli: The emails and deposition testimony point to a close relationship between Isaacman and Sal Agostinelli, including dining at high-end, Michelin-starred restaurants. This is relevant because Agostinelli is a key figure in other aspects of the case (implied, but not detailed fully here).
- "Relieved of all responsibilities": isaacmans being relieved of duties is highlighted before the finalized transition letter
