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)

Link's not working

He's done plenty for Hyrule so I'd say give him a break.

Try it again, I had to change something on the video site and I think it reconfigured it, but I see views coming through now

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Still doesn't work for me, I get this message:

Content unavailable Reach out to the creator to obtain the full URL for access.

I got what when I clicked on the expand within the window (kbin) but clicking the title as the link worked.

Not sure what the comparable parts are for Lemmy, but if there are two options you might want to see if the other one works.

Doesn't work for me in Mulch or Mull, basically Firefox with ublock origin. Media type not supported. There's nothing in ublock that looks like a video or something I'd want to switch on, things that are blocked are standard things I'd want blocked.

Dodgy website be dodgy. Other videos on that site work, but in general it's janky.

Not working for me either.

Feels like we're back in the Real Player days, trying 8 different combinations of browsers and operating systems to slowly load some video you end up not being interested in anyway.

The comment link works for me in Firefox with uBlock Origin.

For me it behaves like imgur links that don't work as the expand on the page but do if they open a new tab to the link.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Imgur links don't work as expanding because they're using a link to a page and not the actual image. You have to click "Get share links" after you upload and then use the url in the BB code one to get the actual image link.

This is a link to a video website, so it would likely never be processed as an expanding video in lemmy, kbin or whatever. This video works for me now on PC, however on Mull and Mulch - which are Android forks of Firefox specifically set for privacy - it did not. Other videos did work, but this one didn't. My guess is the video is in a weird file format.

The website also has plenty of dodgy shit - like facebook and gstatic.com. What's the point of using an alternative to YouTube if you're still connecting to Google??

(Incidentally, these images were all uploaded to imgur. You just have to pick the right links.)

TL;DR this is a janky and dodgy website.

Works for me

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I couldn't get it to work either. What did you say in it?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why did you choose to create your channel on Odysee?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 11 months ago

Mostly to upload these videos tbh, it wasn't YouTube and peertube didn't show any instances accepting new users. Could host myself but I already host lemmy and that's enough for me
