We believe in people. We believe in redemption. But we also believe in standards. This company is built on mission, not maintenance. The work is too important, the stakes too high, and the time too short to entertain cycles of repeat failure, entitlement, or unchecked harm.
Strike 1: Compassionate Accountability
Your first strike is not a punishment-it's a mirror.
It's a formal reminder that something's off, and that it needs to change.
Because we stand by our Code of Conduct, we will:
Address the issue clearly and respectfully.
Offer guidance, support, or training to help you improve.
Create a written plan (if needed) to ensure the correction is real, not symbolic.
This strike is documented, not weaponized.
Strike 2: Game Over
The second strike is the line.
Because we stand by our 0 Bullshit Policy, we will:
Enforce termination swiftly and directly.
Respect your humanity-but not tolerate repeated harm, excuses, or ego-driven behavior.
Remove you from your role regardless of intention, unless the context is extreme and warrantsinternal review.
No drama. No debate. Just done.
Core Principles
Employment is at-will and by choice. Your role here is a privilege, not a right.
This policy applies to everyone. Executives, directors, field staff, and volunteers alike. Noimmunity. No favorites.
Severity matters. In cases of gross misconduct, fraud, violence, exploitation, or abuse-a singlestrike may result in immediate termination.
Reapplication & Probation
You may reapply after a cooling-off period (typically 3-6 months).
If rehired, your position will be probationary and closely monitored.
Reinstatement is not a guarantee, but we believe in growth and second chapters.
Final Note
This policy isn't about perfection. It's about alignment.
If you're honest, accountable, and trying-you'll always have room here.
If you're hiding, hurting, or playing games-you won't.
We are here to build a future. Not babysit the past.
