See? That’s the thing these HR types didn’t get. Britney’s loss of a job is bad enough, but it’s so much worse when there are lies on top of it.
“Adding insult to injury” applies perfectly here.
Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her

The only time I got laid off was from a university where I worked. I read in the paper that morning that there were going to be layoffs and I came in and my boss was really apologetic and told me I was laid off. It actually went really well all things considered. I didn’t blame him and he was as nice as he could be about it, saying things like, “if you ever need a letter of recommendation, send me an email.”

Which is all it need d to be. Layoffs always suck, but your boss did it the right way

Right. This HR video shows exactly the wrong way to do it. Sometimes layoffs are necessary, but you don’t have to be an asshole about it.

Wrong on a human level. On a corporate level, they didn’t admit it was a layoff and so she can’t sue them or get any benefits. Fucking sociopaths are punishing new employees for being hired after they botched the numbers.

And you don’t have to lie about it. The lies gain you a little wiggle room for a day or two. Then your reputation is lower and everything is harder. These ghouls don’t grok that the lies generate a type of pollution that is far heavier than whatever near term benefit you get from lying.

Right. You can piss on my face, but don’t tell me it’s raining.
