Edit: site should be more stable now. Leaving the rest of the info in place just in case. ---- I was not expecting this to hit the front page. Site is currently experiencing the "hug of death." General information for new people:

I have no doubt this is true. But Google hasn't told me what I need to do. If I do need to get a court order, it will be a pain but at least I'll have something to work with.

They never asked for a court order. They stopped replying to my emails. Beyond that, a court order seems excessive for something like this. Shouldn't sending along documents and proof of power of attorney be sufficient?

I tried every technique like that I could find. The "share" feature isn't available for my system, the "file manager" hack didn't work for me, and my phone would not make emergency calls through the wifi. Not t

No one in the US knew what to do with that feature. It was intended primarily for Asian audiences where drawing complex characters to communicate is much easier than rendering them in text.

Early DefCons were on the strip, and for reasons never officially made public, DefCon got banned from the strip. AFAIU, that's why it was in the Alexis Park for many years. I was actually surprised when I learned it was allowed back on

This is a garbage essay, and to be honest, I find both Graeber's and Harrari's assessments of ancient history to be garbage. Actual ancient historians will look at sites, and based on the evidence found, come up with plausible the

Honestly, his response was terrible. "We've done a lot of bad things, and we'll try to improve in the future." Based on the impact that video is having, the only way I see that he could "fix" this is to reach o

I can't edit the main post, so I'll add here: apparently the reason they refuse to give her a non-performance related reason is so they don't have to pay out unemployment benefits. Makes total sense, and is a very sleazeball

I completely agree. Had they opened with that, I would have no objections to the way they handled it at all.
115.
by aestetix 3y ago
A few things. First, if they are doing layoffs, shouldn't they expect people to be pissed off, and be prepared to handle that? I don't think the call was heated at all, but maybe it's a cultural difference. It could be that

That's not entirely true. She did cut them off when they were giving out corporate speak. She asked for details, and they didn't have any details for her. I would have expected them to have a list of specific reasons, possibly pre

It sounds like the issue here is actually lawsuit culture. It's scary how laws that were designed to improve the lives of the working class actually wound up making life a lot worse.

It matters because this is about trust, transparency, and honesty. If you were in her position, would you want to know if your termination was due to something you did badly, or because of a general company policy? I agree that being honest

I don't understand why Cloudflare can't just be honest and say the reason she got laid off, instead of making up some garbage about her performance. That was her main complaint, and I side with her completely. She was not asking t
