[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a couple of things.

One, I'm not sure why this needs to be generational warfare episode 6,323,534,231. This could be time for nuanced discussion about what companies owe us during firing/lay-offs but instead it's turned into "Hurdur zoomers suck Gen X great" when based on her LinkedIn, I don't even believe her to be a Zoomer. She looks like she's the last year of millennials.

Two, I totally get where she's coming from. Having been fired for "poor performance" six months in, after not a word of anything but "you're doing great," the entire time, yeah, I was pissed. Even when I filed for UI and the company said it was poor performance, I made a point to say "I was surprised they indicated poor performance, as this was not mentioned during my six month review a few weeks prior to being fired." I didn't fight back when being fired though because I could tell it was not a good fit and was already looking/interviewing elsewhere though. (And no, I did not think it was a bad fit because I was not able to meet expectations, I thought it was a bad fit because they were disorganized and told me they could no longer afford to reimburse me for meals on work-related trips.)

Three, I wouldn't have recorded this because at the end of the day, the decision was made and the paperwork was already signed but whoever said above that they hope she gets busted for federal wiretapping charges...you're dumber than the two HR drones handling this call. Calm down, Gladys. [/quote]

Whatever generation, this sneaky recording and public posting is just shady. There is nothing illegal or immoral here, so I could give a pass on recording in case she caught a “me too” type violation, but these were two people doing their job, they didn’t make these decisions I’m sure.  So the posting was in bad form. [/quote]

eh, she didn't display their names or faces. No one has any idea who they are except as representatives of Cloud Flare so I don't see the problem[/quote]
Honestly, I'm convinced the people saying "@MerrickGarland, @FBI please indict this woman for federal wire tapping!!!!" are HR people embarrassed by how dumb these two appeared on the call. Like, we literally only know their first names and that they work for Cloud Flare, this is so not a big deal other than the fact that people think they are dumb. Which they are.

I got let go once for similar reasons to Brittany here and while the company was an effing mess, even they did a better job letting me go. My manager was there and the HR rep, who I knew to be an idiot in other instances, was professional. I will say I was already looking for an out so I didn't care enough to push back like Brittany did. Who knows, maybe if I had pushed back the HR rep would've been incompetent.

I think there are three sides to every story - Side 1, Side 2, and the truth. We will likely never know who was closer to the truth, but we can have opinions about both sides. I think Brittany was dumb to think she would be spared by pushing back aggressively and I also think Cloud Flare effed up by not having her manager there AND sending apparently their two dumbest HR reps to do the dirty work.[/quote]
