Idk, the whole thing stinks.
I am a sales engineer and I see new outside sales hires get up to a year or so to get their pipeline going if they can prove they're hustling (cold calling, feet on the street, knocking on doors, etc) and slowly building it.
Cloudflare apparently trained her for 3 months, then gave her the worst possible month alone and is letting her go with no indicators from her manager. It's not passing the sniff test.
The kicker is cloudflare also recently laid off ~12% of sales employees and it wouldn't surprise me if this was their tactic to avoid severance pay and shite.

Yeah, the whole firing after one quarter is brutal. Either she sucked or despite her work, some bullshite analytics showed the company that she was a lost cause.
Can’t imagine taking a job for a company like that knowing your leash is that short from the start. Especially in Q4 which can be tricky to navigate at times. Now if the record shows that she’s just a shitty employee, then I get it. But if you worked hard and just had poor luck closing right out of the gate, then frick them.

Cloudflare was really bad about training. They basically brought people on to try to drum up business, had the managers run the technical aspects, and the saleperson was just along for the ride. The manager probably thought she was doing fine-- this decision came from on high (CEO/CRO).
Cloudflare did the same kind of reduction in sales force just under a year ago, but at that point tried to rehire. This time they're just reorganizing their sales team so needed a lot fewer people.
