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)

Uh HR has access to exactly that data for me as part of review cycles and what the boss puts in. Any thing that is used as a metric to compensate me HR would be able to look up for me almost instantly in any company I have ever worked for, I have never asked HR to provide me the data or where my performance was lacking and not have them have an immediate answer. Why, because when terminating a person that info is exactly their job to have to not get the company sued into next year. US wise just because you mysteriously wave your hands and say performance as the reason, even in an at will state, doesn't mean you are off the hook for knowing the exact details at the time of termination.
