> In the case of the video, the implication is that she was told she’s being fired for performance, which seems unreasonable as she appears to have just finished training.

She says she was hired 4.5 months ago and that her ramp-up quota period was 3 months long. That's not quite "just finished training".

In sales, once your ramp up period is over you're expected to be held to the same performance standards as everyone else. Ramp up periods do provide some cover for not hitting quota, but not closing a single deal during the ramp-up period and in the months following (albeit over holidays, which is tough) is not a good sign.

It could be pure bad luck, but the reality is that having zero closed sales and being past your ramp-up period is going to put you at the top of the layoff list.

Smart Home has kind of been my hobby for the last 7-8 years. I have well over 100 devices controlled by my smart home setup.

Before I installed the first smart device in my home, however, I had a single requirement: EVERYTHING MUST FAIL NORMAL. By this I mean that if the internet went out or a vendor went out of business or I rage quit a vendor, then the device in question had to act like it was a normal non-smart device.

I avoided things where you had to configure power-on default behaviors, and where you had to cycle power or disconnect the device to reset it. For this reasons I have no smart light bulbs in my house. I replaced every light switch with a smart light switch, and if anything goes wrong, walking over and using the switch will turn the light on or off.

Most of my automation is "zero touch" flavored - I want the house to do what I want without me triggering anything. For instance, I have luminance sensors in several rooms and during the day if it gets gloomy or overcast, or near dusk, it turns lights on. I also use occupancy sensors to turn lights on and off, and have multiple rules to set lights to the appropriate brightness based on time of day (after bedtime, the lights still come on when someone goes in the bathroom, but very dim, etc.). All this happens locally via HomeKit or HomeAssistant. And, if automation fails, then the switches still work.

That's not entirely true. She did cut them off when they were giving out corporate speak. She asked for details, and they didn't have any details for her. I would have expected them to have a list of specific reasons, possibly prepared by her manager, and if she wanted to challenge them, then schedule a follow up meeting. But the "follow up meeting" is often just a way to make the complaint go away, rather than addressing it.
"The law no longer permits us to show ads to the kids in our daycare."
Awful analogy. It's far more cruel to tell someone a layoff for non-performance reasons is their fault.

The super-generous interpretation here is that Substack is trying to hew as closely to free speech absolutism as possible, but I keep thinking about the interview where Nilay Patel asks simple direct questions about content moderation and Substack's CEO just keeps squirming and refusing to answer.

If you have a clear honest view of what you want your platform to be, you should have no trouble answering those questions. My conclusion therefore is that Substack is simply not being honest about its goals.

Sorry, I am likely missing some context here -- I didn't watch the video that's apparently floating around I'm just reacting to this imgur/LinkedIn post.

This sounds like a salesperson was let go (or several salespeople). I don't see anything about a layoff.

THE deal in lower-level sales (and an AE is lower-level sales) is that the jobs are fleeting and ruthlessly performance-based. People are hired and fired all the time. Sometimes you're let go before you've even made it out of training. Sometimes you're let go if you miss a single week's quotas. It can be quite vicious.

I am not in sales, am not good at it, nor do I ever want to be in that world, but everyone's I've spoken to who is says they know this is how it works and this is the deal, and therefore there aren't (or shouldn't be) hard feelings if you're cut from the team.

Please correct me if I've missed something!

That video. The firedee did a good job on the call, considering, IMHO. (Posting the video is a different question, and hopefully won't come back to bite her, legally or professionally.)

On the corporate side of the call, it's exactly what you'd expect. From a stereotypical big stodgy corporation that totally doesn't care. Just having the executioners follow a script, and fall back to usual corporate politic language.

I think it complicates matters with her being in sales. It’s a much more cutthroat area in companies the size of Cloudflare from what I’ve seen. If you don’t perform you get cut loose really fast. I have a family member in tech sales and it blows my mind how easy it is to get fired.
I’ve said this before but every time someone uses 3.5 to make a point, there’s an agenda.
> She did cut them off when they were giving out corporate speak.

She cut them off after 21 seconds and then went into a heated complaint, including calling what they're doing "bullshit"

> She asked for details, and they didn't have any details for her.

Once someone becomes this heated, the only real option is to reschedule a followup call after the person has had time to cool down. Nothing good would have come from delving into details of her performance, even though she already admitted and acknowledged that she hadn't closed any sales.

I don't think anything will make HN commenters happy, but what would you actually have wanted to hear? If they had instead said "We're cutting you for no good reason" the comments section would be complaining about that instead.
I wouldn’t rent one for the simple reason that they would likely want me to bring it back with a full charge.

There is a double standard but it's not the one you think.

Israel is the only state that can get away with such behavior without a single sanction. Russia is under a severe package of sanctions for doing something that is not fundamentally different.

Israel is also a particular focus in the West (and especially in America) because it's done with US support (in the UN) and US weapons. So, yes, people are talking about it more than, say, the situation in Myanmar. Note that there are also sanctions against Myanmar, among other things a ban on military sales to them for what they are doing; so can we now similarly ban the sales of weapons to Israel?
That particular claim is from one of the articles sourced in the Wikipedia entry: https://exploringjs.com/es5/ch04.html

It was so long ago that my memory isn't very reliable anymore, but I do remember that Java came out first and that's why they called it Javascript (to mooch off its popularity). Then as now, it was confusing and silly.

Maybe Java came with desktop applets first, or released beta versions before 1.0? I can't remember for sure. But it was definitely a thing before Javascript.
Hey look... as a shareholder particularly, I have no problem with laying off underperformers in any department, especially sales asap. What rubs me the wrong way is twofold: What the folks laid off are saying about their packages. Specifically healthcare, if it's true it seems particularly cruel, give them 6 months (even if they've only been there a couple). Second, in the video the tiktok woman posted, if it's accurate 3-month ramp into year-end expecting sales for a jr sales person? Come on.

That said, as you mentioned, I don't know the metric at all, and like you, I hope it's fair. :)

I used to work in the UK. I once worked for a company that had a salesperson that wanted to quit. He was forced to do a non-sales job for thirty days stacking boxes and sorting old files before he was allowed to leave and he hated every minute of it.

I think that you are making a lot of assumptions about the purpose of airgapped systems. Why would you assume that no changes or development work occurs? In my experience, there are often legacy components that are a critical part of a larger system. Also, in my experience, such environments are often segregated into smaller enclaves. Some of those may have the most up-to-date tools available.
Google themselves started an open source & open protocol Open Screen Protocol alternative, as promised, a bit after promising to do so to make a viable device-side way of doing Presentation API for casting. https://w3c.github.io/openscreenprotocol/explainer.html

That explainer is three years old. Their code runs. There's a meeting at every IETF with a little bit of discussion and progress. But, it mostly looks like one very dedicated very awesome engineer giving this project like 10% of his time.

I really really like Open Screen Protocol. It has so many of the best things about Chromecast, it has so much of what made Netflixcs DIAL which started this all great: it's a very capable remotely scriptable web browser, that can run in its own. It would hypothetically work fine for a Cast device with cameras or microphones attached. It supports multi-parties connecting to a cast session. There's tons of great stuff possible.

It just will not ship. There's no devices based on it. The standards group moves so slow, has so few stakeholders. No one but Google contributes, even though it seems so high value, so interesting, and even though there seems to be no opposition or major issues. Letting Matter show up & eat this really awesome protocol's cheerios is such a sad egg-to-the-face moment.

It obviously came as a surprise but she seemed calm given the circumstances and was asking straight direct reasonable questions given the circumstances with the people on the other end responded back with gobbledygook avoiding answering straight direct questions.

In no way was she loud, abusive, threatening. At best she got agitated she wasn’t being given any real answer, just meaningless words avoiding answering a simple direct question.
I'm considering renting a Model Y from Hertz in Calgary for three months, but their pricing model is a complete mess:

23/01 -> 30/04 C$10,952.88 (C$111.76 / day)

... but pick it up a day earlier and it's C$4,000 cheaper:

22/01 -> 30/04 C$6,777.00 (C$68.45 / day)

Also:

13/01 -> 15/02 C$1,747.00 (C$52.94/day)

... but split it into two rentals and it's C$400 cheaper:

13/01 -> 01/02 C$727.00

01/02 -> 15/02 C$619.00

Total: C$1,346.00 (C$40.79/day)

Nothing makes sense.

Also, I need winter tyres. That'll be C$25/day extra... No discount for monthly rental. Doesn't make sense. I'm here with my money Hertz, but there's no way I'd deal with such a cluster-fuck.

It’s in quotes because it’s not a literal file, per se. But HR will keep records of termination reasons.

So, if a prospective employer contacts Cloudflare and asks why she was terminated and Cloudflare says “performance” when that’s not actually the case, it’s detrimental to the potential employer’s perception of her.
These are not in any way competitors to A320 and B737.

They are much smaller, with 2-2 seating, compared to 3-3 in the bigger jets. There are some routes and airlines where these are competitive; but they are not similar planes.
I don't think so. Let's take just one slice of what I mentioned -- video content. Dailymotion, a relatively small competitor, has over 200 employees. Vimeo has over 1,000. That's a single feature.

Could 13 people clone Instagram's featureset at the time of the sale? Yeah, it could probably be done by 3 people in a weekend. But you'd need thousands to emulate their current featureset.

Agreed, but Alexa fails hard if you have no internet, and my understanding is that Google Home also becomes mostly inoperable.

Reminds me of Clayton Christensen's talk at Google or argument in this article.

"Because they were taught to believe that the efficiency of capital was a virtue, financiers began measuring profitability not as dollars, yen, or yuan, but as ratios like RONA (return on net assets), ROIC (return on invested capital), and IRR (internal rate of return)...

All of this makes market-creating innovations appear less attractive as investments. Typically, they bear fruit only after five to 10 years; in contrast, efficiency innovations typically pay off within a year or two. What’s worse, growing market-creating innovations to scale uses capital, which must often be put onto the balance sheet. Efficiency innovations take capital off the balance sheet, however. To top it off, efficiency innovations almost always seem to entail less risk than market-creating ones, because a market for them already exists."

Okay, you're welcome to buy a golf cart or something. You're also welcome to drive a Tesla and turn the driving mode to "chill" or "comfort".
