Ali Contract Termination Executed

January 6, 2026 at 8:43 PMpeoplemedium

Situation

Sent termination email to Ali Erdinç Köroğlu on Jan 5 after missed Dec 31 sync meeting and other missed meetings. Coordinated with Mariah (HR) and Sarah to cancel calendar invites and deactivate systems.

Reasoning

Ali missed the Dec 31 progress review meeting entirely after being warned on Dec 30. Following through on the stated consequence maintains credibility - warnings without follow-through undermine future accountability. Contractors are held to the same accountability standards as employees.

Additional Context

This is the execution of the Dec 31 warning. Ali was unresponsive to outreach on Dec 19 and Dec 30 from Jeff as well. Systems deactivated, calendar invites canceled.
