Meghan Kelley can't call anyone whiny. She sued her employer when _she_ was fired.

It’s called lying about needing someone for a temp job.

"We're terminating you but we can't tell you why right now. So sorry you're having this experience". Wait, what?

Half a year ago, 3 months after receiving a yearly bonus for "great performance", I was let go for poor performance. Instead of admitting to layoffs, they blame it on the employees, harming their self esteem and disrespecting their inteligence.

I'm a software engineer, my last role I gave the company a 2 day notice, they were flabbergasted, they wanted a one month notice. The same company had let go of my friend in one day, they didn't let him know ahead of time. Idk why corporate america wants these notices especially if you're a terrible company.

Judging from the video alone, she has the right to know as to why she was being fired. Regardless of whether she was a terrible employee or not, the fact that they won't even get into the specifics is just cruel.

That's the way the world works, you can be a devoted employee trying, working hard etc but a company never loves anybody. Never love a company because it will not love you back. Always keep the back door open. That's what an 'old school' trucker told me years ago.

Sometimes you can do everything right and still be accused of doing everything wrong. They will gas light you, scapegoat you, or set you up for failure.

The company can at least tell you why you're being let go.

It’s ironic that you have to give a two week notice before leaving a job because it’s professional but they can fire you when ever they want. The CEO is right, that HR lady is horrible. Not “I’m sorry, I know this hard”. She went with “I’m sorry you feel this way”. Complete lack of empathy. Then again she works in HR for a reason.

Megan Kelly is such a clown. Sometimes you really do work hard and a company does screw you over… She needs to get a wake up call .

So... This is what no job security is like in the 21st century?

Never get too attached to anything, even your own shadow leaves you when it gets dark. (wise proverb).

“I’m really sorry you’re having this experience and feeling this way.” That means NOTHING.

MEGAN SHOUDN'T CALL ANYONE WHINY!

Girlfriend, I know exactly how that feels. I was laid off my job my dream job !!! 2 1/2 months ago. After working there for almost a full year. I’m still trying to recover from something like this. It truly is a slap in the face. I had the exact situation happen to me. It hurts like a M.F. But I’m proud of her, VERY proud!

Megyn Kelly should take her own advice.

It cracks me up with these jobs they want you to give them a written 2 weeks notice as a courtesy, but they can part ways with you whenever they feel like with no thorough explanation or notice at all. Placing you at financial risk to lose so many important things. **Update: Dang thank-you all for the likes & comments (whether nice or nasty). I didn’t think my little comment would get people talking like this chile. Carry on ladies, gents, & in between 😝!

>>Tech Employee >>Works Sales You're not a tech employee. You're sales.

She got fired for making absolutely NO sales in 4months and the one deal she was getting she couldn’t close! That’s what happens

“ work harder, do better, stop crying ” says the woman who had it easy growing up privileged and also sued her boss when she got fired? I agree a majority of the time with this woman but this ain’t it.

😢 yeah. I’d want to know why I’m being fired no matter how long I’ve been on the job. This way, I’d learn and not make the same mistakes that I’ve been fired at my next job

she kinda knew she'd be getting the boot and decided to film and to try to capitalize on it.

Meghan... REALLY??? wow, Kelly's entitlement is stunning.

Here in Canada your first 3 months on a job is called probationary. They can terminate you without any reason or just cause. After that they have to give you a reason when they fire you

To tell someone they do not meet expectations but be unable to explain how or what was expected is wrong and make it look like there is a hidden reason behind that decision. The woman is asking what aspects she needs to improve to get a better job... that is not whining. To tell her to ¨work hard¨ as MK did, with no idea about what the reasoning behind the decision is, (because they can not or will not provide one), is pure evil.

now you can doordash and join the rest of us in poverty

How did she even know to film it?

Sadly once HR makes their decision, then there is nothing you can do to try to salvage your job

This happened to my sister 2 weeks ago, employee of the year been there 2 years they relocated her to boston 5 months ago for a new job, then let her go after 5 months and relocating. Cold hearted, nothing to explain, sick people. World is cruel place

I’ve had this happen to me in the fast food industry. Our franchise owner relayed to another manager that I was being let go. Her reason? “It just wasn’t working out for him.”I connected the dots. They found someone who was willing to accept less pay for the same position. It went from me being complimented on my speed and cleanliness one day to getting fired the next.

The fact that 40 other people were fired suggests this had nothing to do with individual performance, and given that they were unable to provide any reason or data to back up what they were saying, it's clear they just needed to make redundancy. it's just bizarre that they would blame her.

Megan Kelly!! Im 50 years old! I worked my axx off for decades, came in early, stayed late, did the job of 3 people because my employer wanted to save money on labor so he can buy a new car! I had to work for low wages and no benefits....work my way up from the bottom....to be rewarded with more work!!! I worked myself to the bone ans damaged my health for ungrateful, disrespectful and unethical companies! I have very little to show for my decades of loyalty and hardwork! I support this young girl and generation Z.....this generation will finally change the abusive work culture in America....or they will destroy it.

The problem is not Brittany being 'whiny, weak, woke'. Neither is it about her employer. It's really about the inhumane employment laws in the USA where people can be fired without warning and for no reason. I'd hate to work there.

"Love your Job, not the client or company, because you never no when the client stop loving You "

That lady hit the nail on the head, corporate speak is getting old, and corporate speak is cowardly to say the least.

So ironic to see Megyn Kelly call people "whiny children" and suggesting they should grow up when suddenly getting fired like this considering she went and sued her employers after getting let go because of what she did.

Usually a warning before firing. Otherwise it is a layoff.

The manager responding with the condescending “I’m sorry you feel that way” remark says everything you need to know about him. I’m wishing nothing but the best for Britney.

The video of the girl, the interviewer states that is being fired because she hasn't been able to close any deals since she started in November. She even says she was about to close on a deal but another employee from the company took the client from her. I'm sure her company has quotas just like the rest of us.

That’s why I’m self employed! No more of the corporate lies and deceit

"Whiny, weak, woke youngsters". I didn't get that impression from her. She wasn't whining she wanted to know the reasoning for her termination given all the work she put in. Megyn's advice to "Work harder, do better" is the most generic and useless thing to tell someone

Proof why you should never put in a two weeks notice, becuase they won't give you two weeks before they fire you

1500 employees. And only 40 get let go. She must have been terrible at her job

“Work harder, do better” how? if I’m fired without knowing why how do you expect me to improve if you can’t say what’s wrong? Corporate is so out of touch

Corporations don't care about anyone . They only care about Their Pay and BONUSES. 😢😢😢

And what about the hundreds of thousands of men that got denied the jobs/promotions in the first place? Oh yeah, we're expendable.

its so they can hire another person for 4 months and never pay benefits

Companies: "I'm gonna under pay you so you have to work 2 jobs and have no free time with your family or for yourself. When you're here we'll overwork you until body and mind falls apart, and on top of that we'll have a toxic work environment. If you quit, you owe me a 2 weeks notice. If I fire you, you're gone immediately." Work laws in the U.S. make me feel sick, I want out of this awful country.

“I’m sorry you feel this way” classic none apology. Very tedious.

Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.

A few things to note some obvious, some not so obvious: 1) HR is just the messenger, the firing directive came from higher up and is probably a cost cutting measure 2) I am guessing they're probably instructed not to divulge details for the reason for laying someone off to avoid any potential backlash/lawsuit and 3) by making it seem like she is getting laid off for performance reasons they potentially discourage her from collecting unemployment benefits but it's a bluff on the company and she is 100% eligible to collect unemployment benefits. Sometimes you have to "read between the lines." Also trying to reason and or get answers from HR since they're just the messenger is kind of pointless.

They want a two weeks notice from you, but they give you a two minute notice. Here's something, tell them what the problem is so they can work on it.

Why is she referring to herself in the 3rd person?

Legally they have to give specifics for firing and had to have given a written warning for firing with specific reasons or she can sue for a lot of money!

Lol so not only is she being fired over Zoom, but literally every response the HR people give her is scripted. Literally no effort put into trying to communicate in a genuine way with the person you're firing, just a monotone read-off-the-screen script. Thank you HR

I understand this is how life works because I've been there, but she has the right to know where she was lacking on her performance. Is not fair to be let go without any reason. When this happens then it may well be interpreted as personal and not business related, meaning she was let go because someone didn't like her personally.

What Inside Edition did not show is her shutting the two strangers on the phone down and pointing out all the good things her managers had said about her, and all the praise she had received on her performance from her direct supervisors. This really did have nothing to do with her performance and everything to do with they were just making cuts and didn't feel like being honest about it. I'm actually really disappointed in the reporting inside edition did on this one. They hardly told any of the story.

I'm not saying that what they said on the news about her was morally right, but the mere fact alone that she made the decision to post the incident online to try to get CloudFlare in trouble just reflects her complete disregard for the company's image and how selfish she could be, which is probably one of the main reasons behind her termination.

I have given my last 4 months to this job?!? 🤣🤣🤣 Telling her she has a personality issue with coworkers and her boss only opens the door to lawsuits. Have to be generic in wording these days.

I’ve been fired before, it’s one of the most defeating feelings ever. These companies don’t care about you, and you shouldn’t care about them either. I do the minimum when I’m at work. My job is nothing more than a paycheck. You want me to do more? Pay me more.

And they want our loyalty?

She has sense of entitlement.

"Woke youngers who dont understand how the world works, work harder, do better, stop blaming others blame yourself". My face screwed up hearing this. I think thats the most amount of cringe I have ever experienced

I've never worked for a single company in my entire life that ever truly cared about me or paid me what I was worth. Corporate greed is slowly killing this planet and all of us.

She didn’t close a sale people ….

I hate jobs, they're the American nightmare

This is why I started my own business. The money is less but I’m the boss. Corporations use and abuse us like tools.

So this happened to me....somewhat. I had a company hire me and about 3 months in they tell me I wasn't meeting their performance. During this time I had no computer for almost a month because they were hacked. Everything was done online. I had to call their IT dept every other to get my own computer to even try to start my job. bc the boss had tried to get them to finally set something up and had given up. During that time I literally sat there. Then I couldn't get anyone to train me on their software and on some of the stuff I was supposed to do. The day I was told about not meeting expectations I told my boss I wasn't even trained on what I was expected to do. In 30 minutes the person that should have trained me came to apologize bc she forgot. So we both got in trouble. I went home during lunch and typed up an immediate resignation. You ain't gonna fire me baby.

This is why I never take jobs seriously. They’re jobs, not professions.

The reality of it is that a lot of employers do this and will continue to do this. They don't need a solid reason to let anyone go, and won't give you notice. I've been fired for no reason, and even ghosted by an IT contractor regarding contract termination and any further work with the company. It's just something we all have to deal with. Companies like to fire without notice and ghost employees, so employees should be able to do the same... and they do. No employer loyalty, so no employee loyalty. It goes both ways.

Never attached yourself to work to the extent you feel absolute total betrayal when they ask you to leave.

She deserved a reason and idk why she’s being called weak. If I get fired I want a reason.

Companies fire people for no reason all the time, but why record yourself getting fired…for attention?

Join a union as soon as you enter the workforce, kids! Divided we beg, united we bargain.

I don't think anyone can really judge by this... Because we're not there and we haven't seen her work and the company's work

anytime aomeday say "im sorry you're feeling this way DOES NOT MEAN IT"

And now she is blacklisted from their partners they won't hire her because of this

I got fired from my job for stealing mass amounts of money.

They literally said she’s not meeting goals…

And they wonder why quiet quitting is a real thing these days. This is a Prime example of how companies have been quiet quitting on their employees since the beginning of time.

Meghan Kelley is so disconnected from reality.

What’s sticks out to me? The most is that the CEO said she was let go but then the HR representatives said it was for performance. That’s two different things.

"Imma stop you right there." No you didnt hear me. Your fired lol.

I recently dealt with Cloudflare Sales for my company and maaan their prices were outrageous and they wouldn't budge. Went quiet for a month and then they just started bombarding us out of the blue again and we again said no. Then it got quiet again. Guess we know why. Sales is a brutal career, you can get treated like royalty for doing well, but it can also be pretty cutthroat.

Being told you're "not needed" without a reason is so damaging to a human being's mental state. It makes you question everything. Shame on these HR sociopaths.

Just because you get fired, doesn't mean you need to record it and post it. An employer doesn't have to keep you as an employee, they're under no obligation.

This happened to me and a few others when we were told basically the same thing... ironically we were all let go when it was time for us all to get the full benefits of the job like health insurance etc ...they just used us and then let us go when it was time for our INS to start. They already had about 20 or so more trainees coming in ..same thing happened to them too after 3 months

They corporate speak is always "you arent meeting our performance expectations." The reality is, the company wants to save money by cutting your payroll because they think you aren't producing enough.

No reason? The guy said she didn't meet performance standards. Helllooo?

With experience she will gather her dignity and just say thank you for having offered me the experience and leave instead of lowering herself to tears and just short of begging.

Mehgyn Kellley is a horrible person.

>youth >28 years old

In another job I had after 3 weeks I asked how I was doing. They said it was too soon to say. Well, I was a bit disappointed, but at least they had sense to understand it was too soon to judge and fire an employee.

You can get let go anytime even fast food jobs

The fact that she filmed it and posted it online for attention tells you everything

"I can't go into details" my ass! I would be forcing them to tell me why they're firing me.

"You have not met expectations for performance." So in other words, as a sales represenative, she did not make enough sales to meet the company's quota.

And how did she know she was getting fired to set up her camera?

I know it sucks now but that just means there's better for her out there.
