Dismissal

Purpose

To make it clear how and when dismissal might occur at Countable.

Scope

A brief list of issues that can lead to dismissal.

Dismissal at Countable

While it sounds like a negative thing, not everyone is a fit for Countable’s culture. We think many people are talented but could have a bigger impact elsewhere which is better for everyone.

Things that could result in you being dismissed:

• Fail to communicate with users, team, and customers resulting in problems.
• Fail to exhibit most of the behaviours listed at and below your current job level.
• Fail to take responsibility when you make a mistake, and learn how to prevent it next time.
• Miss meetings or appointments.
• Lose track of client requests because they’re not properly logged in Trello, or backlog’s not monitored.
• Produce low quality work that’s not thoughtful of our future selves and which the team wouldn’t be proud of.
• Avoid hard discussions and be a “yes person” without thinking about what you’re agreeing to.
• Go “dark” so clients and team mates are unclear about the project status (no response for over 1 business day, when a response is clearly expected)
