Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her (ody.sh)

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)

I think you misunderstood my point if you think I'm defending the people who accepted to work in a job, HR, were they're going to be firing people whilst trying to misportray it in such a way that the company saves money.

Also, Professionalism and Morals are mostly separate things (though it has been my experience that those who are ok with working a job were they're screwing other are also ok with screwing those who pay for their work).

Sure, I can see how somebody in their first job might go into HR thinking its fine, but somebody with a couple of years doing the job either is a complete moron or has figured out what it really is all about, and that's not about treating people well or even just fairly.
