Why do they say the person is being let go for poor performance? Does that benefit the company somehow?

Training someone for three months and then firing them after a couple weeks of real work, during what I assume is a normally slow period, doesn’t look good. It looks incompetent to hire people that aren’t needed and it’s a huge dick move to gaslight them by saying it’s for performance if it wasn’t.

Why not just be upfront? If the market changed and the front lines need to take the hit because the wealthy won’t, at least have the courtesy of leaving those employees with their confidence intact.

Not cool IMO and I’ve always been bullish on Clouflare.
