The video in question saw former employee Brittany Pietsch filming herself while on a video call with two admins.
Again, its understandable, Im taking notes and feedback.
Cloudflare is an American company that provides content delivery internet services, cloud cybersecurity, and other IT services.
Taking to herLinkedIn page, Brittany revealed that her manager had no idea this was happening.
She wrote: My manager was just as blindsided as I was.
I felt like I was in the twilight zone.
Upon viewing the now-viral video, the companys CEO, Matthew Prince, responded to the backlash.
Thats a normal quarter.
Thats a normal quarter.
Sadly, we dont hire perfectly.
We attempt to fire perfectly.
He continued: The video is painful for me to watch.
Managers should always be involved.
We dont always get it right.
The CEO also committed to handling such situations better in the future.
Matthew said: Any healthy org needs to get the people who arent performing off.
That wasnt the mistake here.
The mistake was not being as kind and humane as we were.
I think the biggest is that her manager was not present.
Its incredibly painful to be laid off.
The HR executive further said that Brittanys firing was incredibly egregious by making it performance-based.
Some readers thought the incident was the product of feral capitalism at work
Thanks!
