Viral TikTok of the week goes to Brittany Pietsch, the now former Account Exec at Cloudflare who anticipated being laid off and decided to record it for everyone to see. Lots of things to unpack on this: accusations of stealth lay off disguised as underperformance, role of HR who met the employee for the first time on that call, moral ambiguity of recording video w/o prior consent. Worth watching the video in full - it is actually educational and we are TA / HR need to have a protocol on how to handle lay offs when there seem to be no great options. Brainfood Live on this soon I think. btw: CEO response here I thought was well handle and recovered some of the damage
