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)

    Sorry for the recipients of these calls, they should have just been told it was a layoff and given what dignity they can muster to move forward.

    The good news is almost all unemployment claims that challenge a “for-cause termination” have a pretty high threshold for employers to prove should employees challenge the reason for their termination. Company is obviously doing layoffs not for cause terms, these go in employees favor 99.9% of time especially when a company as vague and stammering as this know they have no leg to stand on. Lots of times what employer communicated to Employment Department may be a layoff anyway so what they’re ignorantly doing is just making the process needlessly painful for exiting employees.

    A good lesson to learn is don’t give more to a company or yourself than they would give to you, and most of them you don’t exist on a whim.
