Anyone else seeing this on Consultant Connection for their recruits who have failed to be active in the past 6 months? What do they mean by "pending?"

Can these people resign now or do they have to wait 6 months? I guess they can resign now. I'm thinking about under the old career plan where they had to be inactive a whole year before being able to resign. My person should wait until she's done with school anyway. Is the company giving them any notification that they're not a consultant any longer? This is the first month under the new career plan that a lot of consultants may have been dropped for being inactive the whole 6 months.
 
I had one that tried to submit a show on the 7th (after not for 6 months) so today she signed a new contract and bought a kit $65 to restart. It went through with her old number reassigned. She had 6 months and was 7 days late. I told her for 2 months but it didn't happen.
 
Yes, anyone that had been inactive for more than 4 months got an email from the company during that 5th month. Many of those would have been out sooner but the new Career Plan gave them all 6 months when it began. As of Oct. 1, their Consultant Agreements expired. Hope this helps a bit. I contacted all my consultants who were in that position to make sure they knew but like trps mentioned, some don't seem to really hear us.

Thanks Diane. I didn't know about the HO e-mail after 4 months of inactivity. I had let my people know as well, but some don't pay attention and some don't care. I guess a lot of weeding out just got done with the expiration of the initial 6 months under the new career plan.
 
My Recruit who since in March dropped off this month... She signed up but never did a thing...kept having one excuse after another. I'm not really sorry at this point because she had all these "great" marketing ideas but never followed through! I offered to buy the 100 minis she bought from me and any of her S/S catalogs in June... She emailed me on August 28th and wanted to know if I would still buy them... Uhhhh...NO!
