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)

They didn't actually have performance indicators, nor any poor performance data. When she asked for their evidence, they said they could get it later. In my head that translates to "We don't actually have the data."

"We can talk about that later."

"We can't go into specifics at the moment."

"This isn't the form, or the situation where we can go into detail."

I love her response:

"But then when? If it's not right when I'm getting fired then it's certainly not going to be after when I'm no longer part of the company."
