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)

I do think my manager at the time was a good manager and I'm sure he cared to some degree. He was usually pretty stone cold emotionally but I expected that to be different on that day I guess.

And yeah I understand that the company forced him to do it, I don't blame him at all.

I've had to let people go. I was a wreck inside, but was stone cold on the outside because who the fuck am I to be getting emotional when it isn't my livlihood being taken away?
