Well he is chief engineer, and knows the warp core inside and out.

The real question is...why are the data lines connected to anything in these chargers, let alone connected to the CAN Bus? There's no need for security if you just don't have access. Something tells me either the company doesn't like their customers, or the bus driver was just a dick.

Oh how the times have changed...I thought they were Viagra.

The English has always been super janky.

Now don't be too judgemental. Cthulhu speaks English with a slight accent, and there's nothing wrong with that.

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...

Again, 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.

No, it has huge legal connotations for her. If she had a wrongful dismissal case, then she should have brought the video and the documentation to a lawyer instead of blasting it out to the world. Now the legal department that has a team of lawyers working to advise the CEO and making sure she doesn't have a case, whether she actually had one or not. That's why it will be reported as fired without cause. If she was told she was fired with cause but it's reported as without cause and she can still claim employment insurance, then she has no case. If she had kept her mouth shut and let them process the termination, she might have had something combined with the video. Now she has nothing, and this will be forgotten by next week.

Patience is a virtue, especially when you're being fired.

To get ahead of it and control the narrative. They were publicly accused of a wrongful dismissal. That has huge legal connotations, whether she realized that or not. But the corporation has all their legal ducks in a row. She hasn't exposed anything but her own inexperience. Really, if she did have a wrongful dismissal case, she likely overplayed her hand by publishing the video so soon. She'll get employment insurance, but that's all she'll get at this point.

I'd likely believe you since I was doing the same thing. That, and my buddy was running a MUD on a Slackware server so I had someone to bug when I hit a wall.

Again, a little PR to brush it aside is all that was. Come back to me next week and show me the impact.

And by next week, they'll forget because they don't ever plan to apply there for work. The small percentage of people that will avoid applying there because of this is a small drop in the bucket of people that will still apply. This is no where near as important as some people make it out to be.

Cloudflare isn't a social media site where all the users discussed the revolt on the site. Most people outside of IT don't even know what Cloudflare is or that it even exists. A lot of people don't even know what Reddit is.

Acknowledgement, "we're sorry", and then quickly forgotten as the news cycles moves on. This will have no lasting effects. Everyone will have forgotten this by next week.

Edit: You also left this out...

He added that “sometimes underperforming employees don't actually listen to the feedback they've gotten before we let them go.” He also explained that letting someone go doesn't necessarily brand them as a bad employee. “It doesn't mean (they) won't be really, really great somewhere else,” said Mr Prince.

Until we see that paperwork, it's all speculation. Getting upset about it will change nothing.

Yes, if they do that. And then she'll have more evidence for a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. But they won't. They'll report that she was fired without cause. Speculating on the official cause does nothing but allow people to feel upset about it.

The point is that is still comes down to what's written on official documents. Yes, what they told her is bullshit and can have a negative mental health effect. But her mental health is not their responsibility. The two people telling her that she was being let go are simply relaying exactly what they are told to by upper management.

The video was smart to record, just in case. But publishing it was just for other people to feel rage. This is have absolutely no effect on Cloudflare. A few less people may apply, but there is no shortage of people looking for jobs right now. With all the layoffs happening at every company, it's almost like the Dot Com Bust again. I got through it and stayed in IT for another 16 years. She will get through this too.

This is nothing new. Nixon commissioned a report that said the exact same thing 50 years ago.

Your opinion isn't binding. Please show me the documented proof that she was fired with cause. This video is nothing but rage bait.

Pointing out the truth is not "age discrimination". It's obvious that she is very upset in the video, and that this is probably the first time she's been in this situation. It's also obvious that the manager and HR person have gone through this conversation many times already. There is nothing that they could say that would satisfy her. The HR person literally says that. They are giving her the response they were told to give her. Yes, its bullshit, but it doesn't matter until it's written down. This video isn't the "gotcha" that she thinks it is. Without the video, it's her word against written documentation. And of course the company is going to protect themselves, that's why they won't report it as with cause. All this video did was show her inexperience. Unfortunately we'll never see the update where she tells us what they reported on the written documents.

Again, it doesn't matter what they tell you. It only matters what they report to the government. If it's with cause and you have proof they are lying, you can sue for wrongful dismissal. But they won't do that. They will report it as without cause, because that's just easier. They don't owe her severance because she was only there for 4 months, but she will qualify for at least some employment insurance.
