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 worked at Teledyne and got laid off. The official policy was that they wouldn't give anyone a reference good or bad just confirm that the person worked there. Shit people making shit products. They threatened to not give me any severance unless I agreed to never badmouth the Teledyne corporation on the internet. I took the money.

The professional workaround is 'are they eligible for rehire'. If you're laid off it's a yes, if not it's a no.

"I took the money."

Uh oh, now you're going to have to give it back for spilling the tea!

I will get right on that. Maybe I will show up to my ex-manager's manager house and discuss the matter with him. You know on a rainy night near midnight. Is that the proper way to do this?
