If you "write someone off," you make the decision that they are not going to do whatever it is you want them to do, they have proved to you that they are either not capable or not willing to do it. The image is of you taking their name off of a list. You usually hear this said about someone who is not willing, as in "Sam just can't seem to come to work on time, so I'm going to have to write him off and pick someone else for this project."
