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)

    Because they only thing they value is money. Right now money, not future money. So long as the numbers go up, the sociopaths in the c suite couldn’t possibly give fewer shits.

      Well, the value fear and desire. They just don’t comprehend morale because it’s outside of their emotional universe.

      As in, they don’t understand it. They don’t realize there’s something missing from their model of how people operate.
