Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her
Bonehead@kbin.social 11 months agoAgain, come back to me in a week and show me the impact. Prince isn't losing any more sleep on this than the other 39 people that were let go. It's just business to him.

Alright, let's play this game. Firstly a week is nothing so let's make it 3 months and let's begin by being clear about what "no impact" means. It seems to me twofold. On the one hand there's the impact on Cloudflare's share price and then more directly the impact on Brittany Pietsch. If she gets no more job offers than she would have if she'd kept quiet then I guess that would be "no impact" number one. Cloudflare's share price has risen since November last year from 54.95USD to its current price of 79.37USD. If there is no great change in three months then that would be "no impact" number two. Let's see what happens ;)

What happens to Brittany Pietsch at this point is on Brittany Pietsch. It's up to her to show how she can be a valuable employee.
This will have absolutely no effect on the share price. To think that laying off 40 people out of a huge organization, even if one went "viral" for a few days, will have any effect is wishful thinking. Speculating on the possible effects is only an exercise for the people that want to feel outrage over something. People in this thread are talking about having PTSD from episodes like this. It's just a whole lot of complaining that will go nowhere, just like it has for decades. Cloudflare customers will not care about this, and that's all that really matters. And unlike Reddit, Cloudflare hasn't pissed off their products and drove them away to other platforms. The company will be fine...

Ok, let's see.

So it's been a week. Cloudflare isn't in the news anymore. No one on this site is talking about the incident anymore. Brittany Pietsch has done nothing but complain and "hit back" at the comments 4 days ago. And the stock price has gone up.
I don't expect you to acknowledge any of this, but knowing that I was completely 100% right is reward enough.
