Exactly. Highly entertaining and revealing for us to watch, but I don't think she did herself any favors moving forward.

Gen Z.

Could we not do generation based discrimination here? It's so tired and useless.

The video is on TikTok. It is useful to know this is done by Gen Z. While hiring it is important to remember that quitting/fired employees will do something similar. Gen Zs also act like the world owes them an apology for every small issue they encounter and act irrationally. Maybe a Gen Z reading these comments will think twice before posting something that can damage their future job hunting irreparably.

If you were to replace "Gen Z" with "women" in your comment, would you still think it's okay to submit it?

Ageism is just as bad as sexism.

I am glad you read my comment.

It's really good that some are ready to do what is right instead of just bending over.

I generally agree with this sentiment, but I'm uncertain about its relevance in this specific case. CloudFlare decided to terminate her employment, what's wrong with that? Unless there's evidence to suggest otherwise, it seems reasonable to assume that their decision was based on letting go of employees who were perceived as the least valuable or lowest performing.

The assumption going on is that they're trying to skimp on severance and unemployment by maskerading it as a perfomance issue.

Well, if I have to hire one important account executive for my team, would I consider her? No.

Not only did she post it on social media, but it revealed that she made no sales (her fault or not).

But I guess this is Gen Z for you.

ok boomer

Did...did we watch the same video?

What an infantile way to express your dislike for younger people.

I’m glad she did. I don’t remember seeing a video like that “behind closed doors”. Goes to show for anybody considering working at Cloudflare to look elsewhere. They’ve mishandled this situation so badly they did more damage than her video ever could have.

Besides, it takes serious guts to do what she did. If CF were honest with her from the get go the video may not even exist. She will be able to find another job but the PR hit and lack of trust in this company will be more difficult to repair I suppose.

I totally see how a company could go after her in a legal battle to punish for that behavior, so it's definitely not a recommended move.

But on prospective employers, perhaps she doesn't need future employers who'd be pissed at their shitty HR drones getting exposed on social media ? She might not need to go work at a Fortune 500 company lawyered to the teeth, and could find a nice place that is willing to commit to higher standard of communication with their employees ?

I had a coworker go shout insanities at the CEO at a meeting after the company pushed a few of his buttons, it was totally unprofessional and a hot headed move, but I'd still see him as a good hire in a different setting. People can have flaws and bitch too much publicly and still be valuable workers in the right contexts.
