Tech worker Brittany Pietsch is receiving mixed reactions for recording herself getting fired. Pietsch worked in sales at the tech company CloudFlare for just four months when she was told by two HR representatives that she was getting the boot. The CEO of CloudFlare expressed sympathy for Pietsch. The video is painful,��� says Matthew Prince. The mistake was not being more kind and humane.

    Meghan Kelley can't call anyone whiny. She sued her employer when she was fired.

    "We're terminating you but we can't tell you why right now. So sorry you're having this experience". Wait, what?
  • @MsNobelle
    How is it whiny to ask for a reason for termination? They should absolutely be transparent and give the reason.
  • Judging from the video alone, she has the right to know as to why she was being fired. Regardless of whether she was a terrible employee or not, the fact that they won't even get into the specifics is just cruel.

    I'm a software engineer, my last role I gave the company a 2 day notice, they were flabbergasted, they wanted a one month notice. The same company had let go of my friend in one day, they didn't let him know ahead of time. Idk why corporate america wants these notices especially if you're a terrible company.

    That lady hit the nail on the head, corporate speak is getting old, and corporate speak is cowardly to say the least.
  • That's rich. Meygan Kelly calling someone "whiney". Her entire career is built on her whining about literally almost everything under the sun. Still, corporate America is heartless and unforgiving with only one goal. Profits on the backs of tax slaves.
  • @Mlopez_602
    The company can at least tell you why you're being let go.

    Half a year ago, 3 months after receiving a yearly bonus for "great performance", I was let go for poor performance. Instead of admitting to layoffs, they blame it on the employees, harming their self esteem and disrespecting their inteligence.

    Megan Kelly is such a clown. Sometimes you really do work hard and a company does screw you over… She needs to get a wake up call .

    It’s ironic that you have to give a two week notice before leaving a job because it’s professional but they can fire you when ever they want. The CEO is right, that HR lady is horrible. Not “I’m sorry, I know this hard”. She went with “I’m sorry you feel this way”. Complete lack of empathy. Then again she works in HR for a reason.

    Never get too attached to anything, even your own shadow leaves you when it gets dark. (wise proverb).

    I had this happen to me. When I was younger I worked at a pharmacy as a cashier and got a warning about something I was doing wrong. Immediately afterwards I made sure I never made the mistake again and would double check constantly. After a month they called me in and told me I was still making the mistake "a lot" and they were going to be letting me go. The job I got after that, they made me train the employees on how to fix that exact mistake lol. I realized they were firing me because they didn't want to give me full hours and it was right after the holidays so they made up that excuse.

    I’ve had this happen to me in the fast food industry. Our franchise owner relayed to another manager that I was being let go. Her reason? “It just wasn’t working out for him.”I connected the dots. They found someone who was willing to accept less pay for the same position. It went from me being complimented on my speed and cleanliness one day to getting fired the next.
  • @Blarnix
    “I’m really sorry you’re having this experience and feeling this way.” That means NOTHING.
  • I wish that all HR representatives would disclose valid reasons for employees to be fired from their jobs, especially for not so experienced employees.

    Girlfriend, I know exactly how that feels. I was laid off my job my dream job !!! 2 1/2 months ago. After working there for almost a full year. I’m still trying to recover from something like this. It truly is a slap in the face. I had the exact situation happen to me. It hurts like a M.F. But I’m proud of her, VERY proud!
