Tech Employee Shares Video of Her Being Fired

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

It’s called lying about needing someone for a temp job.

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.

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

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’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.

Sadly once HR makes their decision, then there is nothing you can do to try to salvage your job

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.

The company can at least tell you why you're being let go.

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.

Why is she referring to herself in the 3rd person?

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.

Megyn Kelly should take her own advice.

Rumour is she made ZERO sales in 4 months. Now you know why she was recording.

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.

“I’m really sorry you’re having this experience and feeling this way.” That means NOTHING.

“ 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.

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.

"Love your Job, not the client or company, because you never no when the client stop loving You "
