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)

    Wouldn’t that also apply to engineers working for those rich assholes? Because there are a lot of engineers working for rich assholes here who like to trash HR, starting with me.

      No. What? HR does company dirty work. Engineers do actual work. What the fuck is the relation there??

        They both prostitute themselves to serve the rich to get more money even though they are educated enough to have the freedom to choose whom to work for.

          Ahh yes, and Marx wasn’t a real socialist because he sold books for money… You are choosing to miss the very obvious nuance and that is incredibly stupid to choose to do.

            You’re talking about nuance after the vast generalization you wrote about HR? May beyou could self reflect on that nuance notion.

              I’m not the one failing to understand the difference between HR work and engineering work.

              “nuance” was said in jest, because that diffrence goes FAR beyond nuance, yet you still don’t see it. Pathetic.
