Title: I&#x27;m the founder of an early stage startup, around 10 employees.<p>One of those (one of the first to join) has been an issue for quite a while. Lots of time off, low effort at work, minimal hours. Felt like squeezing water out of a stone to get a result from them.<p>Recently, their behavior has gotten worse despite feedback. Taking off without informing team. Found out a lot of past work was plain wrong.<p>They vest in a few weeks. I don&#x27;t want to have them on the team anymore, I&#x27;m done trying and this employee is negatively affecting me and the company.<p>Should I let them vest then let them go, or just let them go? Feedback from former founders esp is helpful. Any downsides to having them on the cap table?
