He went the “she deserved to be fired” route. She updates what’s happening to her as well.
Hopefully this leads a push to more unionization in the white-collar workplace. In right to work states, that’s your only recourse.
White collar workers will be in denial that they need unions until the situation is an absolute disaster as long as the decline is slow enough.
Shame works sometimes too. Not in this case, but sometimes.

I think this part backs up her side of the story.
“The last few days have been a roller coaster and I have been sent more messages and DMs this week than I have probably ever in my life,” she added. “The most incredible outpouring of support has honestly restored my faith in the corporate world.”
But she added that the most common message she’s received is that she is not alone.
“Many people have experienced something shockingly similar,” she wrote. “Cold, unexplainable firing by people they’ve never met - even after years of loyalty for some … Heartbreaking stories of people’s lives suddenly changing with no explanation and just told to ‘deal with it”.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The TikTok video was posted last Friday by former Cloudflare staffer Brittany Pietsch, who started as a mid-market account executive in late August 2023.
“I disagree I have not met performance expectations just because I have not closed anything official,” Pietsch argued, and asked for a specific reason for her dismissal.
Dom described the dismissal as a “collective calibration for Cloudflare.” Pietsch said she was aware of peers who had also been let go, suggested she may be the victim of a rightsizing process after excess hiring, and pressed for a specific reason she was fired.
Pietsch asked why Dom and Rosie – who she had never met – were making the call to fire her, and if they were aware of her manager’s feedback.
She added that her manager was unaware she was being fired and “called me afterward and told me he was sick to his stomach and couldn’t believe this was happening.”
We as employees are expected to give two weeks’ notice and yet we don’t deserve even a sliver of respect when the roles are reversed?” ®
