I can’t give more approval for this woman, she handled everything so well.

The backstory is that Cloudflare overhired and wanted to reduce headcount, rightsize, whatever terrible HR wording you choose. Instead of admitting that this was a layoff, which would grant her things like severance and unemployment - they tried to tell her that her performance was lacking.

And for most of us (myself included) we would angrily accept it and trash the company online. Not her, she goes directly against them. It of course doesn’t go anywhere because HR is a bunch of robots with no emotions that just parrot what papa company tells them to, but she still says what all of us wish we did.

(Warning, if you’ve ever been laid off this is a bit enraging and can bring up some feelings)

      Her recording it was maybe a little unprofessional but they should’ve just said “hey we’re getting rid of a bunch of people and your number came up, sorry.” but I guess then they’d have to pay out. It’s pretty shitty to blame the employees performance, most people would just roll over when told they weren’t measuring up.

      But I can see someone finding this video later and not wanting to hire her because of it.

        Record everything. Business isn’t professional by any means. Why do you think some backward states make recording illegal…?
