cloudflare comes off as absolutely cowardly in this: they don’t even have the person’s manager on the call, they claim it’s a personal performance issue but when pressed it’s actually the whole department getting canned. It’s a bad look
- Johnny555 3y agoYeah, that was a terrible way to do it -- don't tell someone their personal performance is why they got fired, when in reality it's the company's performance. Though maybe her manager is getting canned too and either didn't want to make those calls or they didn't want him on those calls.
- thrtythreeforty 3y agoYep, this is a very bad look and if it goes seriously viral, is a PR disaster for hiring going forward. At least for me, it only takes a few of these stories to destroy the perception that a place is a good place to work (and that it isn't run by HR).
- neom 3y agoIt's been at the top of r/sales for almost 2 days now and the comments section is just savage. Real shame, I like cloudflare a lot and it makes me sad to see stuff like this.
- xtracto 3y agoRight, and management (the lady's boss) has the perfect pretext for firing her himself : "look, it's a layoff and my bosses', bosses' boss decided that they were using the closed deals metric to rank people and cut the bottom . Ibdont have a say in who I staying and who is leasing, but ill help you in everything I can" Managers: grow the balls to fire your employees. Theres always a reason. And talking with your people may make you maintain a good relationship with them.
