What an absurd way to handle a layoff. Shame on HR, shame on leadership and shame on eastdakota (the buck stops with you).
- Random people she's never met delivering the message
- Person that made the decision not present
- HR with zero answers, completely unprepared, can't even tell what the performance issues were. Literally do not have the reason available for why they're firing them.
- All of 15 minutes reserved to lay someone off
- Information being communicated is contrary to what line manager was communicating
eastdakota presents this as merely an "imperfect firing" of someone in this tweet https://twitter.com/eastdakota/status/1745697840180191501. Words cannot describe how atrocious of a firing this is. An email that simply read "sorry, you're done" would've been better.
eastdakota, will you be firing the HR and exec involved in this blunder, for performance issues? I'm sure you're aware the kind of potential publicity nightmare they caused you here. Matter of fact, I'm pulling our ZTNA project off of cloudflare next week and looking for a vendor that has the decency to tell employees why they're getting fired.
How long until we find out cloudflare legal is chasing this ex-employee to "have a chat" about this video?
I would love to hear a reason why I shouldn't from now on scream into my network to avoid employment at cloudflare like a plague.

Every story has 3 sides.
Did he?
He says they regularly fire ~40 people each quarter. Really? Is their hiring really that messed up?
As some commenters have pointed out , firing for "performance" reasons looks like an excuse not to pay severance (but it might depend on local laws).
POV:I would rather drive a cab or serve fries than providing my time/ideas for such a company.
