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)

Shocked they actually admitted a mistake here. What will really matter is if they actually change anything.

Did he though? I mean he perfectly sticks to individual shortcomings as the reason and even implies that she ignored feedback.

implies that she ignored feedback.

I missed that the first time and now I'm angry all over again 😡

Yeah, it reads like "our mistake is that there is always room for improvement"

Dude, he didn't really admit to any mistake.

That wasn’t the mistake here. The mistake was not being more kind and humane as we did.

He's literally saying firing her was not the mistake. He still believes she should've been fired and not laid off. He also believes firing her based on nondescript performance metrics was right. The only thing he believes was wrong was how the firing was carried out. The only thing he's admitting is that the firing wasn't "PR friendly", which is an indirect way of saying the mistake was getting caught.
