[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Coudflare employee recorded herself being laid off (remotely, apparently by a pair of consultants (not named Bob)) and it’s garnering a lot of views.

I can understand her frustration at having to endure the droning, corporate-speak of these two people she’s never met who are tasked with delivering the bad new, but at the end of the day, she’s a whining zoomer who didn’t make any sales.

Nah, I love this generation.  They are calling out my generation and older on bullsheet practices that wreck peoples lives.  Good for her and I hope she finds an employer that values her and her work ethic.  Not everyone wants to be crotchety and old like you, OP, standing by the water cooler, eating your stale homemade sandwich with mayonnaise oozing out of the creases of your mouth, telling boring stories about what you did on the weekend and then watching the clock so you can take an unnecessary two hour commute home and then do it all over again the next day.  It's a new day and I'm here for it![/quote]

Just the attitude and respect for your coworkers that every employer is searching for. What exactly will you be here for in this new day? Doesn’t look like much that any employer is looking for.[/quote]

Okay grandpa.[/quote]

Again, what exactly do you have to offer any employer if this is your attitude and behavior? No one owes you anything.[/quote]

Your last sentence struck a memory:

Your attitude is why we have so much social unrest. In vast majority of situations, there is a huge asymmetry between the employer and employee. Losing a job is an existential and very real crisis to the employee; losing a worker is normal course of business and barely registers for most corporations.

Employment should never be severed so quickly and without working. If BP knew she was on probation and that there would be adjudication at month 5 she could have made necessary arrangements, assuming she was receiving appropriate feedback. Instead she just started a job and now finds her without a means to support herself unexpectedly.

We at least owe people respect, and they Cloudfare certainly did not show that.
