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)

Honestly, it's not just corpo talk.

My mother talks the same way. "I understand that you don't feel well. But you still have to do this completely brain-dead thing that everybody else is doing." "Why? Because I tell you so. Do children not respect their parents anymore? I'm your mother. You must do what I say. Once you grow up, you can do what you want. But as long as you live in my house, it's my rules. No, you can't keep your door locked. Privacy? I'm your mother."
