With her releasing this I would fully expect her also not taking any feedback well or even making that also public. And the positive feedback is her own words. Not from HR, so we do not even have proof that it actually was positive.

I agree.

BUT, having worked in tech for well over a decade now, you should absolutely 100% not believe any feedback that's given to you. She's in sales. She should understand that there's exactly 1 metric that matters, closing deals. I'm not saying it's her fault she got fired, but this should really be a lesson for everyone watching this video. Do not believe what they tell you.

> Do not believe what they tell you.

So let's say a manager tells their sales rep to focus on understanding well what the customer needs, before closing the deal. Sales rep doesn't give credit to the manager and rushes for a close. Customer turns out to be a bad fit for company's products and services. Now, the company has a liability.

Management exists for a reason. There cannot be “exactly 1 metric” in any job, unless it's paper clip maximization.
