Perfect response, very well stated. Kudos to their PR team![/quote]

Yes and I will add Kudos to the HR duo who were on the call as well.
As Cloudfare CEO acknowledged, the process maybe wasn’t the best way to do this, but I thought the two people assigned to handle the call and give her the news remained professional and expressed an appropriate amount of empathy without losing their cool. They didn’t have answers, and acknowledged her feelings about what was happening. I’d give them an A+ for executing the crappy task they were given without escalating.[/quote]

+1. I watched this waiting to see the company eff up royally and… they just didn’t. Brittney comes off looking silly. Also she shouldn’t have said “bullsh*t” - it made her look juvenile. The HR people were top notch here. I’d hire them, not her, for sure.[/quote]

Those people did fine given what they had to work with but Brittany was right that it’s very bad practice to give her no adverse feedback and not have her manager on the call and not be able to articulate anything about her performance. It’s within the company’s rights but it’s also crappy. [/quote]

If it's at will, don't give any feedback on performance because that could open the company to liability. Just, "I'm sorry but I have some bad news, we have to let you go. byeeeeee!" [/quote]

Yes and no.

Sounds like they have a clear metric and documentation to justify cutting her loose. By her own admission, she hadn’t closed any deals/made any sales. [/quote]

Yes of course you save the metrics and documentation to CYA. You don't mention it on an at-will separation call. [/quote]

You do when you want to make clear you have a reason. It prevents many people from bringing a lawsuit. [/quote]

If she's an at will employee, as it appears she is, they can just say that they no longer need her services and they don't need to give a reason. It's better to not give someone something to argue about, just make a clean break. What exactly does she sue over?[/quote]
