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.



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.

I believe all of that, but it's super shitty for them to do layoffs and blame performance instead of just saying they are downsizing. People generally just want honest feedback. "Your performance met expectations but we are downsizing and have to let those who are not making revenue have to go first." Yknow?

That said, I'm definitely just taking this person's word at face value. None of us know jack about her or her performance.
