- 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.
What happen excatly?
Meghan Kelly: "Standards for me, but not for thee!" What a Goddamn hypocrite
@@JustinFH exactly! She’s such a loud mouthed hypocrite.
Lmaooo
@@JustinFHwell said !!😂 dam!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🎬
It’s called lying about needing someone for a temp job.
@GillyWhitfootHaysend You hit the nail on the head. I was hired by Tractor Supply to open a new store and help assemble shelves, receive and stock merchandise, etc. I have never worked so hard in my life. After the store opened I worked as a cashier. 3 months after starting work the manager called 5 of us in to her office and terminated our employment. It was a humiliating experience for me as I had worked very hard, giving it my all. The truth is, Tractor Supply never intended to keep us on but we weren't hired as "temporary" employees. Companies should be honest when dealing with employees' lives.
Yes. They said it was normal to let go of 40 people this time of year. It was just her turn.
They could just be rotating employees to get the most profitable ones, but you might be onto something.
You answered the question with your own answer. It’s a temp job. Temp means temporary. Business doesn’t have to disclose how temporary the job is it could be 2 days it could be 2 months
watch the entire video, its because of her lack of sales... its a business not charity
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.
Sad but true. What's the baseball saying: "What have you done for me lately?" They even fired New York Yankee manager Casey Stengel after he won 9 pennants and 7 World Series in 10 seasons.
This is so true. You’re taking away a person’s livelihood, the least you can do is be honest about why. It’s not like they can do anything either way, they’re screwed.

Never get too attached to anything, even your own shadow leaves you when it gets dark. (wise proverb).
corny
lonelyness, hate, sadness, deception, etc.... NEVER leaves
It comes back when you go past a light at night at least
Very wise
My shadow never leaves me. When there isn't any light, my shadow just expands as far as my eyes can see.
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.
Double standards and hypocrisy
Ya, I always-always--given employers 2 weeks' notice. Never again. If they don't give employees the same courtesy, why should we?
Lmao I don’t give notices anymore
@@georgeburns6512 when it came to large corporations I just stopped turning up - half the time they don't even realise you left, especially if you're on 0 hours.
in EU slovakia 2 months . but u can get fired now
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.
It depends. Some states, like Florida, don't even need a reason to fire you.
. The hallmark of a red state: corporations first, the rights of workers last.
🙄@@travelingwithrick
I agree. I’d find it more acceptable if I were given a proper explanation as of why a company is firing me.
Because they always get defensive and verbally abusive
Sadly once HR makes their decision, then there is nothing you can do to try to salvage your job
that why those separated bodies beings must stop being dependently on business capitalism and have another way too
Almost all employers have a policy against re-hiring terminated employees. Go back after a year and try to apply for the job you once had. The HR officer eyes will bug out in anger and amazement.
@@user-jd2vz4my1w why would you apply to a job that fired you a year earlier?
American employment laws can be very cruel. I was a coach cleaner for Metro North Railroad for exactly one month before they terminated me for literally the exact same reason Brittany. It was a gut punch to be terminated from a job so quickly that I had waited 14 months to get. From the time I first applied to when I started work, it took 14 months and I lasted 30 days. Unfortunately when you’re on probation, the company can do whatever the hell they want and that’s what the MTA did to me. It can be very cruel. The United States also does not have a federal law that mandates paid time off for employees of any company. If the company you work for wants to give you paid time off, they can go right ahead and do that, if they don’t, sorry!! Too bad.
UNION
Why is she referring to herself in the 3rd person?
lmao i was wondering the same thing
probably so the viewers know it's her being fired and not a reupload of someone else getting fired or something
Maybe as evidence for lawsuit
main character syndrome*
Trying to widen everybody's view from personal to general, maybe?
The company can at least tell you why you're being let go.
They did, they gave her a false reason and back peddled when she called them out on the obvious lies.
What I don’t understand is why they can’t just say “ we need to let go of several of you. Your not a bad employee. Sorry”.
No they will put salt to the wound and gaslight a person. My guess is that it looks better to blame the employee than admit they hired too many.
@@TheBeanHomethat scares me. I work at McDonald’s and they have too many people so the labor is always high.
They don’t have to have any reason to explain a thing. They can lie.
@@studiosinger dang so if they wanted to ruin your life they can just do that?
@@XXXDomtacion yes, that's how it works in the most socially-backwards country in the western world, the USA.
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.
You dont "have" to give any notice when quitting.
I have been completely shocked by the spread of "lack of empathy" amongst HR, government clerks, and police.
@@valoredramack9117 Employment Investigator? Is that even a real thing? Anywho, here in the US every state (except Montana) they can terminate you without reason at any time - even after your probationary period.
Same reason you can get on boarded for a job and not show up for the first day. Same reason you can not show up for work and have no consequence other than letting your team pick up the slack. The lack of professionalism or empathy goes both ways.
In civilized countries, you can't fire a person without notice and on a whim.
Companies: "I'm gonna under pay you so you have to work 2 jobs and have no free time with your family or for yourself. When you're here we'll overwork you until body and mind falls apart, and on top of that we'll have a toxic work environment. If you quit, you owe me a 2 weeks notice. If I fire you, you're gone immediately." Work laws in the U.S. make me feel sick, I want out of this awful country.
Argentina needs workers,, adios !!
Pretty much anywhere, don't feel special
2 week notice is not a law...feel free to just up and leave. it's also not law to take jobs that you think is "beneath your pay level"...if you take it, then you have no right to complain afterwards...no human is forcing you to take that job...
@@nealcassady-yn3bh He's Texan.
He can probably name 3 countries outside of America and Argentina is one of them.
I live here too, born and raised, patriotic to a point, but I agree we live in an awful country. While big brother and social media brainwashes us to believe otherwise.
That's the way the world works, you can be a devoted employee trying, working hard etc but a company never loves anybody. Never love a company because it will not love you back. Always keep the back door open. That's what an 'old school' trucker told me years ago.
It cracks me up with these jobs they want you to give them a written 2 weeks notice as a courtesy, but they can part ways with you whenever they feel like with no thorough explanation or notice at all. Placing you at financial risk to lose so many important things.
No one actually gives 2 weeks notice anymore
Exactly, I am deeply offended at how this young lady was treated. It was painful to watch. Meghan Kelly is usually on the WRONG side of an issue, if she has Draco DNA, as to why, that's between her and The Most High. I sincerely hope this little lady gets a better job asap and I trust and believe she will, I have faith that she will. She did the d@mn right thing putting those vicious, unprofessional sub human hybrid cyborgs on BLAST !
@@kimwalter8753please tell me you’re joking, it’s a sales job and she didn’t make any sales 😂
That two weeks notice rule depends on the state. Florida is a right to work state. There, you can quit at any time without giving any reason or notice.
@bigtoolgarry you can quit any job in any state for no reason
No one actually requires you submit a 2 weeks notice
“I’m really sorry you’re having this experience and feeling this way.”
That means NOTHING.
It's actually even more vile than being mean
Exactly. HR doesn't care at all about employees' lives.
Sounded like she was reading a script
They usually have a flowchart in front of them with replies for all possible scenarios. Just a bunch of robots that occasionally need toilets.
Yea this is why I say "Actions speak Louder than Words." I was in a company that had layoffs 20+ years ago. They were honest, clear, and explained everything. Even gave generous packages and hired an HR consulting firm that helps you with your resume and in finding a job. I'd work with them again if I stayed in that industry but I didn't. Great company. Their executives and HR was all business BUT very human.
A few things to note some obvious, some not so obvious: 1) HR is just the messenger, the firing directive came from higher up and is probably a cost cutting measure 2) I am guessing they're probably instructed not to divulge details for the reason for laying someone off to avoid any potential backlash/lawsuit and 3) by making it seem like she is getting laid off for performance reasons they potentially discourage her from collecting unemployment benefits but it's a bluff on the company and she is 100% eligible to collect unemployment benefits. Sometimes you have to "read between the lines." Also trying to reason and or get answers from HR since they're just the messenger is kind of pointless.
Sometimes you can do everything right and still be accused of doing everything wrong. They will gas light you, scapegoat you, or set you up for failure.
Absolutely. Management write the rule book to cover their own incompetence.
@@danzigvssartre its a sales job dingdong she didnt make any sales
Megyn Kelly should take her own advice.
She’s got gross behavior
fr where does woke even come into this
The girl in the video failed to close a single sale in her 4 months at the company. Megyn Kelly made Fox news company billions of dollars over her career and exposed her boss's predatory behavior. Big difference.
lol… talking about “Whiney and weak”. This woman has probably had an easy life with everything handed to her smh
Wish they would fire her
This happened to my sister 2 weeks ago, employee of the year been there 2 years they relocated her to boston 5 months ago for a new job, then let her go after 5 months and relocating. Cold hearted, nothing to explain, sick people. World is cruel place
For no reason?
@@travistucker7317 budget cuts i believe either way one minute shes sitting at her desk with her co workers next minute in a office with security escorted out
@@gurusheat3506 who paid for her move after all said and done?
That's usually what happens when they relocate someone. That's why a lot of people decline even if it's a juicy opportunity lol
I cannot imagine the nightmare of being moved to another city and then fired from the position almost immediately afterward, and having to scramble to find a new livelihood in a place I'm unfamiliar with. So sorry for your sister that had to be so hard.
"Love your Job, not the client or company, because you never no when the client stop loving You "
well said
I highly doubt your job loves you either.
Rumour is she made ZERO sales in 4 months.
Now you know why she was recording.
Yep. There is more to this story and the only controversy is how badly these HR goons handled the call.
The actual underlying reasons were very reasonable and very sound. Notice how she's not arguing with the legal aspects (i.e. her firing was justified), she's nitpicking and arguing semantics.
Rumor from who?
@@yeskaitlyn8029 from tr1P!ea 🤣
you don't know how Sales work lmfao. Nobody makes sales under 4 months.
@@yeskaitlyn8029they literally say it in the video if you pay attention
Here in Canada your first 3 months on a job is called probationary. They can terminate you without any reason or just cause. After that they have to give you a reason when they fire you
Because our country is a neoliberal hellscape that would make Milton Friedman blush.
I thought it’s called at will.
In Canada, I always thought the probationary period was 6 months.
I live in very, very southern United States and most jobs I've gotten did tell me the first 90 days were probationary.
That is incorrect. The truth is, you can be fired for any reason, as long as they give you the required severance. It is termination without cause. They do not have to give you a reason.
“ work harder, do better, stop crying ” says the woman who had it easy growing up privileged and also sued her boss when she got fired? I agree a majority of the time with this woman but this ain’t it.
I am not sure if it`s a woman.
I don't see any other reply to "But but but I've worked here for a whole 4 months!"
Yes HR should've told her to her face that she's incompetent especially when prompted about it, but let's face it: She's an entitled whiner.
She's not wrong tho. If an employee films the exit talk like this and acts like this: Just an entitled brat, who didn't hear her parents say no once in a while.
Megyn also likes to apply situations from decades ago to today as though nothing has changed. And isn’t she the one who sued Fox for getting fired(?)
A slave on a plantation in 1824: Why do I have to be a slave?
Bystanders: "work harder, do better, stop crying, you entitled brat"
Some jobs make you sign something that gives them the right to fire you for no reason at all. I've had to sign off on those jobs because times were tough, and had anxiety my whole time there. Glad I was fortunate enough to find better jobs
they dont care about your energy and extra effort. its how corporate works
😢 yeah. I’d want to know why I’m being fired no matter how long I’ve been on the job. This way, I’d learn and not make the same mistakes that I’ve been fired at my next job
She wasn't making sales. It's that easy.
@@circesoul2218source: trust me, bro
It’s that easy
They told her why she refuses to listen
@@patientmental875 It’s adorable that you believe a corporation at face value, so naive
@@Tortilla.Reform Awe what did big bad corporate do to you?
To tell someone they do not meet expectations but be unable to explain how or what was expected is wrong and make it look like there is a hidden reason behind that decision.
The woman is asking what aspects she needs to improve to get a better job... that is not whining. To tell her to ¨work hard¨ as MK did, with no idea about what the reasoning behind the decision is, (because they can not or will not provide one), is pure evil.
she sounds like a sniveling whiner to me
Gaslighting
It's irrelevant, they owe her nothing but a paycheck. She should find another job, unfortunately this stunt probably hindered future aspects.
Gotta throw those buzz words in. I don't know what "woke" has to do with any of this but it makes the mouth-breathers nod along.
Just because something is legal does not make it right or ethical. Fraudulent hiring.
she kinda knew she'd be getting the boot and decided to film and to try to capitalize on it.
I recently dealt with Cloudflare Sales for my company and maaan their prices were outrageous and they wouldn't budge. Went quiet for a month and then they just started bombarding us out of the blue again and we again said no. Then it got quiet again. Guess we know why. Sales is a brutal career, you can get treated like royalty for doing well, but it can also be pretty cutthroat.
Super true. They have this saying that you're only as good as your last sale. Sales is for a particular person with tough skin.
Megan Kelly!! Im 50 years old! I worked my axx off for decades, came in early, stayed late, did the job of 3 people because my employer wanted to save money on labor so he can buy a new car! I had to work for low wages and no benefits....work my way up from the bottom....to be rewarded with more work!!! I worked myself to the bone ans damaged my health for ungrateful, disrespectful and unethical companies! I have very little to show for my decades of loyalty and hardwork! I support this young girl and generation Z.....this generation will finally change the abusive work culture in America....or they will destroy it.
Amen. Once an employee, always an employee, and once a boss always an authoritarian mf'ing AxxOll...

Yep, companies never appreciate long time hard working workers, a pizza party here or a gift basket but no actual change in wage or position.
I have been a regional manager in the corporate world, very senior people can be very harsh and ruthless, one General Manager (a psychopath????) was fired after an internal investigation because of his nasty attitude to staff. Poor attitudes to staff should not be tolerated, in Australian we have the Fair Work Commission which is usually effective.
I think unfortunately, they're gonna do a bit of both....😅
The problem is not Brittany being 'whiny, weak, woke'. Neither is it about her employer.
It's really about the inhumane employment laws in the USA where people can be fired without warning and for no reason. I'd hate to work there.
Inhumane? They literally told her that her sales were bad & she couldnt accept it because "she worked hard"
There's ALWAYS a reason. She specifically was fired for a reason. It could be anything from her race, to her gender to her hygiene, or an introverted personality, or her work performance, or her attitude towards others, etc, etc...anything. There's always a reason, and sometimes it's not fair.
@@bountyhunter4885it’s sad because the companies don’t care if you need to provide for yourself or even your family. If they just don’t like you then they’ll fire you and laugh when you end up homeless or even dead
@@patientmental875
They didn't say her sales were bad. They said she had "not met expectations for performance", but refused to go into specifics. If it was simple as not making sales (it's not clear from this video that she even was a saleswoman), they could have said so. But they didn't.
I don't know whether you can tape somebody else's voice without their permission.
With experience she will gather her dignity and just say thank you for having offered me the experience and leave instead of lowering herself to tears and just short of begging.
When your salary is more than what you bring in… you get the boot. That simple.
So ironic to see Megyn Kelly call people "whiny children" and suggesting they should grow up when suddenly getting fired like this considering she went and sued her employers after getting let go because of what she did.
This plea by this poor woman has nothing to do with "Wokeness". She did not get caught doing something bad and then try to make the issue all about gender, or race, or some other "victim category". This is about an employee who worked her @$$ off and was completely unappreciated by a calloused employer. Anyone who understands Christian compassion will understand that.
Jesus showed compassion for the blind, the lame, and the lepers by healing them. He did not call them "whiners", nor did he lecture them on "taking responsibility" for the hardships that they had.
she had a contract, completely different situation....
That's because she's one of the "beautiful people". We're the slave class.
It’s crazy you say that because I was thinking her harsh stance was really just an ego defense mechanism to cope with the same thing happening to her.

I work in HR and we used to have a CEO that demanded every year at Christmastime we let 20 people go. It was awful, knowing that this is the time of year people struggle with money. This went on for years, but thankfully he is no longer with the company. I refuse to work in a role where I personally need to let people go, but many of my colleagues do it… I simply do not have that backbone.
It's because you have a conscience and care and aren't one of those other sociopaths that work in HR.

You're not a tech employee. You're sales.
Never attached yourself to work to the extent you feel absolute total betrayal when they ask you to leave.
Except for your biological relatives, never attach yourself to anyone or anything.
After you've been fired a half dozen times over the years, betrayed, gaslighted, made to train your own replacements, lied to, misled, ganged up on by coworkers through a dishonest boss, had several bosses at the same business... then you wouldn't understand exactly how this works.
Usually a warning before firing. Otherwise it is a layoff.
Huh. I have never heard of someone getting fired WITH notice or warning 🤦♀️
Absolutely. Four months in and nobody bothered to let her know she wasn't "working out"? If they were letting that many people go, they didn't need to critique her work ethic, just let her go.
@@strawb1793 I think they meant like a 1 or 3 strike rule. If they legit fired her because of poor performance, she would have gotten at least 1 or 2 warnings whether its just written documentation or her direct supervisor having a 1 on 1 with her with written documentation which is needed to back up their claims. If they don't have the actual proof that she was poor at her job (ie metrics, as well as warning as mentioned before) then she can take legal action.
That's not always the case. Because amazon had close down multiple warehouses without giving employees any type of notice. When the employees showed up for work that morning. They found out they were without jobs and unemployed without any prior written or verbal notice was given to the employees in multiple states. When they got to work that day. They collected, they work badges. The security team wouldn't let them in the gates. The poor employees was standing outside crying and devastated. First thing in the morning in multiple states. This was posted on multiple social media platforms a couple of months ago.
@@strawb1793she is in sales so this wouldn't apply to her but most tech companies I know will give you a warning if your performance isn't up to par. Or they will put you on a performance improvement plan. Either way the writing would be on the wall.
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!

If a man recorded this, he would get flamed to hell and back 🤣
Not sure why you have to downplay a woman's voice when both men and women can have this reaction and anyone decent would empathize with them.
Corporations don't care about anyone . They only care about Their Pay and BONUSES. 😢😢😢
Is that supposed to be secret knowledge? The sole purpose of a business is to make profit lol
Right. Never contest the firing or layoff. Just surrender and get your severance paycheck. But for your unemployment benefits you should put up a BIG fight. Document everything, use the attorney's "question" technique and don't be intimidated by your ex-employer's representative whoever they might be. Be civil but be ferocious. State employment departments usually grant unemployment benefits to 3 of every 4 benefit applicants.
I’ve been fired before, it’s one of the most defeating feelings ever. These companies don’t care about you, and you shouldn’t care about them either. I do the minimum when I’m at work. My job is nothing more than a paycheck. You want me to do more? Pay me more.
This is life, you don't meet expectations in the first 3 months you will be fired.
Same as construction
life is tough, girl. even freelancer get fired by themselves today.
“I’m sorry you feel this way” classic none apology. Very tedious.

I understand this is how life works because I've been there, but she has the right to know where she was lacking on her performance. Is not fair to be let go without any reason. When this happens then it may well be interpreted as personal and not business related, meaning she was let go because someone didn't like her personally.
Sadly they don’t have to go into specifics. When it comes to performance issues they can find a needle in a haystack and stick it to you. It doesn’t really take much, they can just say this area needs improvement and it comes down to judgment calls which usually they always go with the manager’s word.
@@Dynomite611 She was there for 4 months and closed 0 deals. She brought this up because she obviously knew that is the reason she was being fired and then proceeded to make excuses for why she couldn't close a single deal, like as if they were going to reverse the decision.
@@ev25zv got you , thanks for the clarification. My view of any employment is if management wants to get rid of you they will find a reason.

Keep it quiet, don’t hurt your future prospect of landing a job.
Works a sales job, makes 0 sales in 4 months, then wonders why she got fired 😂😂
I don't understand how so many people commenting don't see through this facade and understand that she was performance managed out- this wasn't the first time she was told about her performance. Then I realize that the average person is not that intelligent and understand why other people so much more money.

They told her it was poor performance. She wasn't meeting expectations.
Plus it`s condescending and arrogant.
@@HeatherJSN Yeah sure of course they'd say that while I was let go once bc the company replaced me with a partner's niece.
@@tianshuhuang5431Yeah, that’s how it goes. Somebody just didn’t like her or needed the spot for a buddy. If she genuinely underperformed I feel like they would have argued with her when she said she worked really hard.
you seem to know her and her performance pretty well to give a certain judgement.
This is why I never take jobs seriously. They’re jobs, not professions.
The company let go of 40 people and that’s normal?? That’s a red flag 🚩
So this happened to me....somewhat. I had a company hire me and about 3 months in they tell me I wasn't meeting their performance. During this time I had no computer for almost a month because they were hacked. Everything was done online. I had to call their IT dept every other to get my own computer to even try to start my job. bc the boss had tried to get them to finally set something up and had given up. During that time I literally sat there. Then I couldn't get anyone to train me on their software and on some of the stuff I was supposed to do. The day I was told about not meeting expectations I told my boss I wasn't even trained on what I was expected to do. In 30 minutes the person that should have trained me came to apologize bc she forgot. So we both got in trouble. I went home during lunch and typed up an immediate resignation. You ain't gonna fire me baby.
“Work harder, do better” how? if I’m fired without knowing why how do you expect me to improve if you can’t say what’s wrong? Corporate is so out of touch
The reason is they did not intend to keep her any longer in the first place. They just used her.
This is why people like you FAIL. Listen to yourself. You expect the world to hand you sucess or hold your hand. You have to make that happen. If its not working then you need to find another path. That is what hard work is.
its so they can hire another person for 4 months and never pay benefits
1500 employees. And only 40 get let go. She must have been terrible at her job
The general consensus is she produced zero sales in 120 days of work

Showing up and working there is loyalty.
I've never worked for a single company in my entire life that ever truly cared about me or paid me what I was worth. Corporate greed is slowly killing this planet and all of us.
Exactly so.
This is why the decreasing birth rates is a good thing.
Same experience.....I never worked for a company or a boss who cared. So, myself and my co-workers didn't care either. We didn't care if our bad attitude or our slow work ethic ran business off. Double edged sword.
This poor woman worked her @$$ off for this calloused employer who didn't appreciate her hard work. That has nothing to do with "Wokeness", she did not claim to be part of some "victim category". She did not get caught doing something wrong and then use the gender card as a defense.
Sometimes conservatives can actually be as bad as Leftists.
I'v never worked for a single company in my entire life the DIDN'T ever truly care about me or paid me what I was worth. I worked hard, did extra, put in extra, promoted ahead of others and ahead of schedule... and then if tough times come, I had made myself indispensable, while those that were just a dime a dozen were the ones that got the axe. I have never worked anywhere where the good, strong people got let go, and I worked a lot of jobs, was able to move to different places and command higher amounts because of my experience. Retired early a few years ago because I always saved. The corporate world sets things up to succeed rather easily, you have to work hard and understand how things work.
In the UK you can be fired for no reason during your probation which is between 3 - 6 months.
“Im sorry you feel that way” what a vampire.
They want a two weeks notice from you, but they give you a two minute notice. Here's something, tell them what the problem is so they can work on it.
They mostly fire people immediately because they don’t want to give the disgruntled employee a chance to sabotage anything.
how about... 0 sales in 4 months. Is that enough? She knew she had it coming lol.
they pay severance but you don't pay them severance
So what if they want 2 weeks notice you don't have to give two weeks notice. Just because they want you to give 2 weeks notice, who cares? You can walk out at lunch and never come back.
@@TenshiWingly no, its about corporate politics instead. If they're afraid of that, NDAs can be used.
anytime aomeday say "im sorry you're feeling this way DOES NOT MEAN IT"
now you can doordash and join the rest of us in poverty
The fact that she filmed it and posted it online for attention tells you everything
amen
Not really. It's just to expose the HR and how easily you can be replaced
Tells you she's making a protest???
Yeah, it does tell you everything. Because if she didn't record it and post it online, it wouldn't have told us anything.
Great job on her part, expose big business.
Yeah getting fired is tough and unfortunate but when you record yourself then what will the next employer think?
Yeah she dug herself a hole
yea that clout crave will make these people unemployable. We've all been there but the beautiful thing is that we can start fresh at a new job after learning from that terrible experience and it makes us stronger.
@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 your 100% right. Iv been fired once. Never would I think or even want that to be put out for the world to see. It's embarassing and infact a loser victim mentality
Employer: "We're not that evil here at Big Evil Corporation, we give you a reason when firing you randomly, come work for us"
@@imathreat209 Or took one for the team. Props to her for not letting that case fly.
In another job I had after 3 weeks I asked how I was doing. They said it was too soon to say. Well, I was a bit disappointed, but at least they had sense to understand it was too soon to judge and fire an employee.
And they wonder why quiet quitting is a real thing these days. This is a Prime example of how companies have been quiet quitting on their employees since the beginning of time.
Businesses don't quit, they fire...
"Quiet quitting" is just a pejorative term made by CEO's who're playing golf at 1pm on Tuesday. If I'm supposed to go above and beyond, then so should amount on my paycheck ...
That's why quiet quitters get let go First thank God.
@@dorian1112 like the fact that quiet quitting exists. It’s basically when people just show up to their job and do their work but don’t really make much of an effort to go above and beyond because they feel like they don’t have to.
What Inside Edition did not show is her shutting the two strangers on the phone down and pointing out all the good things her managers had said about her, and all the praise she had received on her performance from her direct supervisors.
This really did have nothing to do with her performance and everything to do with they were just making cuts and didn't feel like being honest about it.
I'm actually really disappointed in the reporting inside edition did on this one. They hardly told any of the story.
It's difficult to tell on things like this. If she was goofing off when she should have been working, then she brought this on herself. If the company made her work like a doggy, and gave her pennies in return, then the company needs to get trouble from the labor board.
Lol so not only is she being fired over Zoom, but literally every response the HR people give her is scripted. Literally no effort put into trying to communicate in a genuine way with the person you're firing, just a monotone read-off-the-screen script. Thank you HR
plastic, soulless, morally bankrupt robots, not a single ounce of human dignity or respect, literally less compassionate than an AI.
MEGAN SHOUDN'T CALL ANYONE WHINY!
You can get let go anytime even fast food jobs
Why I left working for others 5 years ago. The anxiety and dread is just too much to bare and I don’t want to be under that umbrella for the rest of my life. Now, if I don’t do something right or make enough money for my expenses then I have no one to answer to but me and more control on fixing the issue.
It's been a hard lesson, but I've learned to save money for my future from EVERY job I have. That way, I can walk away when things get crazy, and still be able to live. Also, use all my benefits, including medical and dental, time off, 401k (if it's a good one) Made a commitment to myself that when I leave the company I'll be better off than I was when I started. Stop sacrificing for people who don't care about you.
The video of the girl, the interviewer states that is being fired because she hasn't been able to close any deals since she started in November. She even says she was about to close on a deal but another employee from the company took the client from her. I'm sure her company has quotas just like the rest of us.
She didn’t close a sale people ….
Exactly! This video seems to have skipped the part when she admits to HR she didn't make a single sale in the entire 4 months she'd been with the company.
"Imma stop you right there."
No you didnt hear me. Your fired lol.
You’re*
Ayo, I'ma let you finish, but I had one of the greatest employment records of all time
@@kalaln323 drop your rap song now
*yous
Sales. You hit your quota or the door hits you on the way out. This is heartless though by HR!
At will employment is TRASH...work hard and build your OWN way!
They corporate speak is always "you arent meeting our performance expectations."
The reality is, the company wants to save money by cutting your payroll because they think you aren't producing enough.
You're not producing enough, as in, your performance isn't good enough? Lol
What's the difference?
_Performance expectations_ is such a dehumanizing way to put it, too. Like I'm a piece of machinery you bought and didn't meet your satisfaction.
@@AtPlume And companies only talk like that because gov't forces them to. People like this girl want to have their cake and eat it too. She wants them to give reasons but if they're not the proper reasons, she'll try to sue them. So they give her generic legal jargon - that's what she asked for.
She's never gonna run a business, never gonna make these decisions herself. She wants an easy job, and honesty, and for the company to be perfect, etc. You can't have all those things - real life involves compromises. Get used to that and life is much better.
@@Gretchaninovshe didn’t sell anything. She’s in sales. She got fired. End of story it’s not that deep
Not everyone is good at sales, just a good opportunity to improve.
Sales is brutal competition, she thought her being pretty would do all the hard work for her lol, perhaps if she put out for potential clients she'd sell more lol
That’s legit the reason this blew up 😭😭
@deemen7132 This is demeaning. She said nothing of the sort. In fact, if you bothered to watch the video, she's asking why she's being fired and they wouldn't tell her. That's the issue. She's only been there 4 months. That's not enough time to really know protocol.
It also doesn't look so good on cloud flare is they can't get people effective in 4 months.
But they need to tell her why she was let go & what she needs to work on so she can improve herself. I do not advocate to publicize the conversation.
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
Uh oh - here comes the pyramid scheme pitch. Gotta love the hun bots
It's dishonest when employers let people go for "performance reasons" instead of the real reason like a layoff. They should just be honest and say we can't afford you anymore. Best explanation for a layoff.
She deserved a reason and idk why she’s being called weak. If I get fired I want a reason.
Omg they told her why
@@patientmental875 No they didn't. The "reason" is about as vague and corporate as it comes. If you can't tell an employee the specifics of their firing, they clearly have a different motive at hand.
@@Itsallanillusion30 Her performance & sales sucked its just that simple!
@@patientmental875Ok Onkel Addi!
@@patientmental875 then why didn't they tell her instead of "we can't get into the specifics"?
They literally said she’s not meeting goals…
True. Lol
And her supervisors have told her the exact opposite. They’re just lying.
That’s not enough of an explanation, plus the way he worded every sentence he spoke in the video, you could tell there’s a different reason why they fired her
That’s so vague and generic, that’s not the way to do it at all.
its the classic excuse they use most of the time, some fabricate a whole made up story about it just because they can. i love when they say "u dont meet expectation BUT we cant go into detail here" good one.
No constructive critique, no explanation as to why. Just a horrible way to dismiss someone!
That's the main issue with these online jobs when you get them- You can be fired easily.
I agree with most of these comments but 4 months without any sales should tell you all you need to know.
@@stankbox hey you know that's not a bad idea...
I don't think anyone can really judge by this... Because we're not there and we haven't seen her work and the company's work
No reason? The guy said she didn't meet performance standards. Helllooo?
They screwed up, they failed to answer "why", and it's her absolute right to ask the very people who should know why she was let go.
This happened to me and a few others when we were told basically the same thing... ironically we were all let go when it was time for us all to get the full benefits of the job like health insurance etc ...they just used us and then let us go when it was time for our INS to start. They already had about 20 or so more trainees coming in ..same thing happened to them too after 3 months
That sucks! How long were you there for? And did they ever tell you were a temp?
at what Company?
@@mindsstalker Cambece Law Office ....it's a collection attorney...we were all just field mice
@@schusk75isnt it permanently closed?
@@schusk75I've seen that happen to other people, as well, in other industries.
Has negotiating with someone who's firing you ever lead to anyone keeping their job? Serious question.
I don't know of any myself.
In the culinary industry, at least, you can sometimes bargain for a second chance successfully.
I don’t know about tech, because I’ve never worked in tech.
Can we legalize companies to give an explainable layout?
The only mistake they made was hiring a ticktocker in their company. Kelley is right - life is though. Newsflash, that's how life is.
Newsflash, it actually can be changed as France has to give you a few months notice and give you a reason why you're being let go. How about thinking for yourself for once instead of agreeing with someone who spouts misinformation and hypocrisy.
I know it sucks now but that just means there's better for her out there.
Nice sentiment but no one is going to want to hire her after this.
@@josephl8765 Yeah ok
@@josephl8765Probably the opposite lol. She stands her guard and got viral. Cloudflare is probably gonna get cancelled after this
@@josephl8765plastering on the internet is definitely something I wouldn’t do. I’m sure a company out there would have some sympathy for this situation.
you mean only fans?
I've learned NEVER burn a bridge, I had a job that was stressful, and when I was let go, parted ways in a professional manner. 1-mo later, the same company contacted me as a position opened up that they knew I would be better suited for and been there going on 5yrs
The Tribal Chief and the Bloodline would like to wish Brittany Pietsch the best in all of her future endeavors.
To be honest i dont know why this is even news. She is not the first to be fired and she wont be the last. Most people just suck it up and dont post a video of them getting fired and crying about it for sympathy. If this kind of thing is really hard for her to accept, then she is in for a bumpy life.
I need fired before. I prefer to keep it private.
It's important because it shows the toxicity in corporate culture, that companies can throw you away for little to no reason.
And how did she know she was getting fired to set up her camera?
Meeting with HR might have typed her off 😂
she smelled the rat
Maybe she puts up camera every time
_”let me stop you right there”_
Is a good indicator why she got fired.
I picked up on that too. Everyone is feeling sorry for her, but we're only getting one side of the story here. Nobody knows what went on behind the scenes for 4 months.
Paused the video to laugh out loud. She must really think herself a Queen to speak to people that way, that is such a such a toxic phrase it really does speak to her character to just fire it off, unfortunately for her.
Yeah and speaking of herself in 3rd person, recording and posting it for attention..
No, it isn't. That's a quirk in her personality you dislike because it's rude. It's also rude and calculated to lay someone off for false pretenses. Let's analyze the entire situation instead of fixating on something you find to be distasteful, shall we?
There’s not enough information here at all for anyone to analyze the whole situation.
