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)

    Technically, if your boss supports you and likes you, and so do your other co-workers, then you’re practically immune to being fired. There really isn’t such a thing as performance-based firing, it’s more that you weren’t able to play the game as well as someone else. If you’re not liked as a person, it doesn’t matter how great your performance is unless you’re a genius—everyone has room for improvement. So performance-based firings are a problem for people with mid IQ or mid EQ, which is mostly everyone (me included). I haven’t been fired, yet but nothing to say it won’t happen in the future.
