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)

Hmm, but the HR people said they didn't have any documentation, and if she hasn't had a bad performance review prior to this meeting then there isn't a paper trail showing poor performance.

If they generate some documentation after this meeting that shows poor performance, wouldn't that kind of be a smoking gun for a fraud case? Because it seems pretty clear that the intent is to defraud her of unemployment benefits by claiming that she was fired with cause.

Yes, if they do that. And then she'll have more evidence for a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. But they won't. They'll report that she was fired without cause. Speculating on the official cause does nothing but allow people to feel upset about it.
