Apr 2026 · Sasha M.: Offer accepted on Apr 12 - Q2 'Run the lead hire loop' action is essentially done. Michael ran the loop end-to-end without me holding his hand on any step.

Apr 2026 · Sasha M.: Forecasting work has stalled - Michael is fully absorbed in hiring + day-to-day ops. We need to either descope this gap or carve out dedicated time in May.

Decisions due in the meeting
Everything the talent explicitly raised + open items the TSM is waiting on you for. Walk out with each of these closed.
- Salary increase request - 8%
€6,400 → €6,912 (8% monthly)
I've grown into a multi-team scope this year (added the new ops talent + ran the lead hire), and the role is starting to look more like 'Senior Regional Ops Lead' than just 'Regional Ops Lead'. I'm not asking for a title change yet, but the comp should reflect the scope expansion.
- Other topics raised
Headcount for Q3/Q4: I'd like to talk about whether we add a second ops talent. The hire loop showed me how much I'm bottlenecking the team on the operational side.
- Decide what to do about off-track gap
Forecasting — descope, reset the timeline, or escalate with the TSM.
