Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her (ody.sh)

I can’t give more approval for this woman, she handled everything so well.

The backstory is that Cloudflare overhired and wanted to reduce headcount, rightsize, whatever terrible HR wording you choose. Instead of admitting that this was a layoff, which would grant her things like severance and unemployment - they tried to tell her that her performance was lacking.

And for most of us (myself included) we would angrily accept it and trash the company online. Not her, she goes directly against them. It of course doesn’t go anywhere because HR is a bunch of robots with no emotions that just parrot what papa company tells them to, but she still says what all of us wish we did.

(Warning, if you've ever been laid off this is a bit enraging and can bring up some feelings)

Better yet, get a job in HR and sabotage the company from the inside!

Though, the reality is that most menial HR jobs are like any other menial non-decision maker jobs, in any other area of the business, so your argument is just as applicable to, and just as disingenuous, for most roles in any business — e.g. like arguing janitor's at EvilCorp are complicit class traitors because they enrich EvilCorp and facilitate it's success.

No. Most jobs do not directly involve enacting bad worker related decisions.

An engineer will never, ever come in and fire you for some made up reason. HR will.

You are conflating the fact that HR does not need to exist like the jobs that do the actual work need to exist. They are not the same. Ever.
