Nope. Just because the company is based in the UK does not mean that this employee is subject to Uk law. She is subject to the law of the country in which she is based, which is clearly the US. She is taking this far too personally. The whole tech sector is currently undertaking massive layoffs in the face of stagnant earnings and a high interest rate environment. Her firing has nothing to do with her abilities so she shouldn’t take it so personally. I’m just arguing that if she was an over the top stellar employee with multiple closed sales, there would be a need to keep her. In the absence of any overwhelming accomplishments, she finds herself the victim of market trends, a common occurrence in today’s market.

They are under no obligation to give that information to her, which could be the subject of a lawsuit. Every HR department need to do their best to protect the organization against frivolous employee lawsuits

She admits in the video that she hasn’t closed a single deal. I think her firing is more than reasonable. I would fire a newbie at my company if they couldn’t make a single sale in months
