That's cool n all, but this chick is now blacklisted from every company with an HR staff bigger than 1 over worked offshore person.
We can all applaud trying to stick it to the man, but this is going to show up on every background report for the rest of her life.
I think the point is for you to meditate on that fact.
I did, for all of a couple seconds, then I remembered what's on the background checks for some of the employees I've seen.
Cloudflare is a shit company with a shit reputation. A new employee getting shat on in real time is not something to end your career with.
If someone calling out a shit company for being a shit company stops all companies from wanting to hire that person (note: I'm not saying you're wrong about this), more people should be calling out the fact that every single company in America outright regards themselves as shit companies with no intention of changing that fact. That's a far-reaching systemic failure that should not go unchecked. I'm sure most of these influencers know damn well what the risks are, and those risks are part of the problem mate.
That's kind of my point...they have no idea what the risks are. I don't really even think this is a shitty corporate thing. When I do a background check and something like this comes up, I'm not hiring this person. What if she publicly humiliates my company, or my team, or one of my teammates.
You can publicly humiliate me, I'm too old to give a shit.
This will come up on social background checks for the rest of her life. No one is going to risk a hire like that. Especially for something like sales where sales people are a dime a dozen.
What's Cloudflare's shit reputation? I thought they were the go-to service to prevent DDOSing.
I won't work for a company that scores less than 4. (Depending on the size, but that's generally the shit hole threshold)

Bro he's saying that you're supposed to realize how fucked up it is (and ideally be revolted) that corporations - who don't give a shit about you or anyone else - team up to prevent bright young adults from having a career and affording to live as payback for exposing their inhumanity/making them look foolish.
Instead you're over here like "yeah I lick corporate boot and will gladly accept being stepped on if I get to keep my career." This girl is a hero for standing up to the likes of cloudflare and we should all aspire to have her courage.
Keep aspiring...meanwhile India is chomping at the bit to get this job, they'll do it for pennies on the dollar, and depending on the worker, they'll be fucking good at it.
I've also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I've heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that's what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.
Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.
I just don't get what the end game is for this. Let's say all of gen Z quits tomorrow over this. All of tech will simply move to Brazil, Eastern Europe, and India.
Since there's really no social safety net, and we don't give a fuck about the homeless...they do what exactly?
For example...the fortune 50 I worked at for a while has enough money to stop selling all their products and still be solvent for about a century at their current spend.
If they faced a general strike, they can hold out for generations. How long can the average American hold out for?
This general audience of this site feels like 15-25...they don't realize the kind of power the big players have.
