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)
If anyone ever thinks differently, this video should convince you.
If you work for a corporation, you are not a person with a name, you are a number. And that number is the amount of money given to you as pay and benefits.
And when the corporation no longer likes your number, you can be unceremoniously shown the door, regardless of your past performance.
Unless you’re apart of a strong union. Then they think twice before firing you.
Really need to create an “analyst union” that title seems like a white collar coverall term to just pay people less.
They likely fall under already exiting tech related unions.
The Teamsters Union even has a tech worker umbreall now.
I wonder what issues a software engineers union is fighting for.
Many of the same issues other unions fight for I assume. Fair treatment and collective bargaining at the base.
Unless you live in one of the many countries that have good employment laws.
bruh the girl didn’t close the deals it 🦆 happens it suxxxxxxxs. i usually close the deal tho
Did you watch the video? With her training ramp she effectively had December to sell. I’m not sure about the Cloudflare sales cycle, but I’d guess most deals aren’t going to happen in a month.
Especially December. Between, say, Nov 15th and Jan 15th, things slow way down in corporate, unless you’re in an industry where things are backwards.
no i was hammered i support your side
It’s hard to close the deal when you’re hammered.
