I usually check Git, see nothing committed, then ask them privately "how are things going with your project? Do you need any assistance?" Another couple days goes by, some garbage that doesn't run is committed to git... I ask again. The cycle repeats. I'm just the tech lead on the project, I have no real authority, so if the situation doesn't improve I do mention it to the actual manager. They usually then do nothing.

Damn I'd like to work at your company to coast for a bit to relax. Where I'm at right now you'd be fired on the spot after a couple of weeks like that if your manager hears you're doing nothing.

We had someone who got fired for performance issues. It took a good 6 months.
