Ali Contract Termination
Situation
Decided to end Ali's contract after he missed another check-in meeting and failed to demonstrate proactive delivery necessary for a remote contractor. Reached out to Mariah to understand the process steps.
Reasoning
Ali missed the Dec 31 review meeting - the deadline that had been set. Remote contractors require proactive communication and visible progress. His absence and lack of delivery crossed the threshold. This follows through on the warning issued Dec 30, demonstrating consistency in accountability expectations.
Additional Context
Ali had been given a warning on Dec 30 that his contract would be terminated if the Dec 31 progress review was unsatisfactory. He missed the meeting entirely. This is part of the broader push to enforce performance standards across the organization.
