I feel for this woman I really do, but, I don’t feel like she did her research beforehand. Had she, she would’ve immediately seen that cloudflare is an absolutely despicable, corpo nightmare, a shining beacon of what every publicly traded company aspires to be. She could’ve seen this coming. Or she did and choose to ignore it, thinking it wouldn’t happen to her.
Been at my current company for 9 years. It’s pretty great, never had a knife in my back or anything.
And still I remember every day that it’s a company, whose only goal in existence is making money, and if a set of numbers on a sheet are balanced in a certain way, I’ll still lose my job, regardless of my reputation, work ethos or anything else.
Keeps me grounded I can “believe” in my company without having to really drink the kool-aid.

The whole talk of “I wanted to believe in this company” is just to disarm the HR people

Every tech company is shit in some way.
