![Pulou-Alaimalo said in the termination letter that as acting director at the time, it was in the best interest of the department to take such action. “Attempts to undermine management decisions and failing to work the required hours stipulated to your employment agreement with ASG are serious concerns,” the DHR director tells Annipale, who was informed that termination of employment is effective Apr. 11th at 4p.m. [SN file photo] DHR director Lynn Pulou- Alaimalo](https://samoanews.com/sites/default/files/styles/teaser/public/field/image/hr_head_pulou_0152_0.jpg?itok=E_S5VBBa)
