@Dang is there a reason this got buried?

#202Wow. This person is amazing! I like how she stood her ground despite these two people accusing _her_ of not performing well, when in fact the company was letting people go after hiring en masse without a plan. Just wow. Also, cloudflare, bro, get rid of those two people and whoever decided to use them as tools in gaslighting employees. Edit: If i had a daughter i’d want her to be like this person.
I do not know any company that would hire this person after this viral social media video. Employers do not like aggressive candidates who record and share on social media when they are angry.
Correct, it's important to be meek and roll over to make it in sales.

> but yeah legally they can't give them any more specifics. Why is that?
Because it's online and the entire call can be recorded?
I don't get it, are you saying that they can only give this information in a face to face setting?
How can they be certain that the person they're firing won't record that conversation?

#204All they had to do was say: "You're being laid off. It's not due to your performance and it is due to economic conditions affecting cloudflare. We're sorry, here's how your benefits etc. will work out." That's it.
They don't need to hug her or be touchy feely. Just be PROFESSIONAL. Tech companies instead try this creepy middle ground (uncanny valley) of quasi-niceness instead of giving it to her straight. Now it's blown up in their face.

#205Takeaway seems to be if you receive an invite from a rando HR person, decline that meeting.
Edit: Also PR speak is one of the most unbecoming things I've heard in my life. I know there's HR people here in this thread, so to them: Try to at least act like your human.

Outcome, perhaps. But a union would have likely a) given a better timeline than a 15 min call with notice sent informally around colleagues, and b) a concrete mechanism for prioritising roles for elimination that should feel fair in some way, rather than an opaque "bad performance" reason that does not correlate with the employee's experience. They had no signed contracts, but with onboarding, the ramp up, and holida…

The employee admits having closed zero sales. It doesn't get much more objective than that. They're also relatively new to the company. Unions tend to prioritize tenure over performance anyway, so their relative n…

She also says that her manager was giving her positive reviews in every one-on-one.

#207This why I do startup. Nobody could ever fire you, it’s always your fault and you have opportunity to react.
I have been in a position like her and I have been a founder since then.

#208From reading other comments here, my opinion might be unpopular. But I think she was extremely rude to those two people who were not required to be as empathetic as they were. (I also don't like people who get angry at waiters for faults of the restaurant)
There's no genuine empathy there, just corporate arse covering and bullshit.

#209Uploading a private conversation with HR to TikTok surely isn't going to help her job hunting. Prospective employers might view such behavior as a red flag... It might even be illegal given that the HR people are likely located in California, a "two-party consent" state.

Could we not do generation based discrimination here? It's so tired and useless.

#210Would rather get this type of a call from an AI bot than those two soulless creatures.
