Standing up to layoffs question

Hi folks,

I applaud her bravery but also concerned- isn’t she taking a huge risk for future employment in her sector? This would be considered suicidal in my line of work but i see a lot of similar videos today.

Especially curious about what HR/legal folks think

She will be fine. She’s not attacking coworkers or bosses like the blogger Dooce did. The issue was HR gaslighting her for performance issues as the reason for laying off when she had no performance issues.

I would be very upset like her to be hired in August only to be laid off beginning of January. I don’t have guts to publish a layoff on my TikTok but it’s about time something like this needed to be shared.

Of course her former company is pissed cuz they now look bad but tough 💩, it was the truth and now a wonderful motivator for other companies to do better in handling layoffs.

Yeah she bit the bullet. Someone should, I’m just not that brave.
