Beanstalkd Queue either fails or runs infinitely - laravel

Question

I am using a Beanstalkd queue to deploy jobs in my Laravel 5.3 application. I use Laravel Forge to administer the server.
I have one of two scenarios that occur:
1) I set a max number of attempts, which causes every job pushed to the queue to be placed on the failed jobs table - even if its task is completed successfully, resulting in this exception on the jobs table:
Illuminate\Queue\MaxAttemptsExceededException: A queued job has been attempted too many times. The job may have previously timed out
And this in my error log:
Pheanstalk\Exception\ServerException: Server reported NOT_FOUND
2) If I remove the max attempts, the jobs run successfully but in an infinite loop.
I am assuming that I am not removing these jobs from the queue properly and so in scenario #1 the job is failing because just wants to keep running.
My controller pushes my job to the queue like this:
Queue::push('App\Jobs\UpdateOutlookContact#handle', ['userId' => $cs->user_id, 'memberId' => $member->id, 'connection' => $connection]);
Here is the handle function of my job:
public function handle($job, $data)
{
Log::info('Outlook syncMember Job dispatched');
$outlook = new Outlook();
$outlook->syncMember($data['userId'], $data['memberId'], $data['connection']);
$job->delete();
}
Here is a picture of my queue configuration from the Laravel Forge admin panel. I am currently using the default queue. If "Tries" is changed to ANY, the jobs succeed but run in an infinite loop.
How do I properly remove these jobs from the queue?
