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)

The only time I got laid off was from a university where I worked. I read in the paper that morning that there were going to be layoffs and I came in and my boss was really apologetic and told me I was laid off. It actually went really well all things considered. I didn't blame him and he was as nice as he could be about it, saying things like, "if you ever need a letter of recommendation, send me an email."

Which is all it need d to be. Layoffs always suck, but your boss did it the right way

Right. This HR video shows exactly the wrong way to do it. Sometimes layoffs are necessary, but you don't have to be an asshole about it.

Wrong on a human level. On a corporate level, they didn't admit it was a layoff and so she can't sue them or get any benefits. Fucking sociopaths are punishing new employees for being hired after they botched the numbers.

Right. You can piss on my face, but don't tell me it's raining.
