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)

Military contractors pay more because they have problems finding people willing to work for them. Imagine a better world where everyone decided under orders wasn't an excuse. Cops would report bad cops, juries would never convict on drug or prostitute charges, the militaries of the world would be reduced to crafting swords, medical and student loan debt system would collapse.

Obedience to authority, best book I have ever read in my life. A shrink analysis the tendency of humans to be awfult.o each other as long as an authority figure says it is required.
