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.
@@georgeburns6512 when it came to large corporations I just stopped turning up - half the time they don't even realise you left, especially if you're on 0 hours.
@GillyWhitfootHaysend You hit the nail on the head. I was hired by Tractor Supply to open a new store and help assemble shelves, receive and stock merchandise, etc. I have never worked so hard in my life. After the store opened I worked as a cashier. 3 months after starting work the manager called 5 of us in to her office and terminated our employment. It was a humiliating experience for me as I had worked very hard, giving it my all. The truth is, Tractor Supply never intended to keep us on but we weren't hired as "temporary" employees. Companies should be honest when dealing with employees' lives.
You answered the question with your own answer. It’s a temp job. Temp means temporary. Business doesn’t have to disclose how temporary the job is it could be 2 days it could be 2 months
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.
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.
Sad but true. What's the baseball saying: "What have you done for me lately?" They even fired New York Yankee manager Casey Stengel after he won 9 pennants and 7 World Series in 10 seasons.
This is so true. You’re taking away a person’s livelihood, the least you can do is be honest about why. It’s not like they can do anything either way, they’re screwed.
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.
@@valoredramack9117 Employment Investigator? Is that even a real thing? Anywho, here in the US every state (except Montana) they can terminate you without reason at any time - even after your probationary period.
Same reason you can get on boarded for a job and not show up for the first day. Same reason you can not show up for work and have no consequence other than letting your team pick up the slack. The lack of professionalism or empathy goes both ways.
Means her boss failed to retain the headcount budget for not bringing in the dough. The layoff eventually is about leadership, one she could assist but sometimes is already broken when she was hired for many reasons. Bad financial, bad industry, maybe next time learn to vote better. Learn the politics and the policies. Don't hate the elected leader out of media hysteria.
Cloudflare has had other problems. Telling people the only way they can keep them is to pay 120,000 and their the ones with the dns registered for you. Paying 2k a month then get hit with oh we need 120k. Because your in the uk and cloud flare can be used to bypass blocking for casino sites.
They did, they gave her a false reason and back peddled when she called them out on the obvious lies. What I don’t understand is why they can’t just say “ we need to let go of several of you. Your not a bad employee. Sorry”. No they will put salt to the wound and gaslight a person. My guess is that it looks better to blame the employee than admit they hired too many.
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

@@sajiddadabhoy1251Sure makes sense ‘whiny, woke, weak youngsters’ still exploited by large corporations to this day, because it hasn’t proven generation after generation to be the most stupidly profitable practice.

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
That is incorrect. The truth is, you can be fired for any reason, as long as they give you the required severance. It is termination without cause. They do not have to give you a reason.
😢 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
The girl in the video failed to close a single sale in her 4 months at the company. Megyn Kelly made Fox news company billions of dollars over her career and exposed her boss's predatory behavior. Big difference.
That’s Trump’s people. Old played out generation. Work harder than the work the young lady was putting out? Insane. All those tears she had when she was fired from FOX and she has the nerves to say this. 😂😂
Most people consider me a hard worker, I’m currently aiming towards starting my own business/ LLC. My last job tried to lay me off after 3 weeks. I was a cart pusher. Not sure how I can’t be working hard enough when my job is to literally push carts for 14 and hour. I went apeshut on the manager my last day.
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 😝!
Exactly, I am deeply offended at how this young lady was treated. It was painful to watch. Meghan Kelly is usually on the WRONG side of an issue, if she has Draco DNA, as to why, that's between her and The Most High. I sincerely hope this little lady gets a better job asap and I trust and believe she will, I have faith that she will. She did the d@mn right thing putting those vicious, unprofessional sub human hybrid cyborgs on BLAST !
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.
Yea this is why I say "Actions speak Louder than Words." I was in a company that had layoffs 20+ years ago. They were honest, clear, and explained everything. Even gave generous packages and hired an HR consulting firm that helps you with your resume and in finding a job. I'd work with them again if I stayed in that industry but I didn't. Great company. Their executives and HR was all business BUT very human.
“ 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.
I don't see any other reply to "But but but I've worked here for a whole 4 months!" Yes HR should've told her to her face that she's incompetent especially when prompted about it, but let's face it: She's an entitled whiner.
She's not wrong tho. If an employee films the exit talk like this and acts like this: Just an entitled brat, who didn't hear her parents say no once in a while.
Almost all employers have a policy against re-hiring terminated employees. Go back after a year and try to apply for the job you once had. The HR officer eyes will bug out in anger and amazement.
American employment laws can be very cruel. I was a coach cleaner for Metro North Railroad for exactly one month before they terminated me for literally the exact same reason Brittany. It was a gut punch to be terminated from a job so quickly that I had waited 14 months to get. From the time I first applied to when I started work, it took 14 months and I lasted 30 days. Unfortunately when you’re on probation, the company can do whatever the hell they want and that’s what the MTA did to me. It can be very cruel. The United States also does not have a federal law that mandates paid time off for employees of any company. If the company you work for wants to give you paid time off, they can go right ahead and do that, if they don’t, sorry!! Too bad.
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.
I have been a regional manager in the corporate world, very senior people can be very harsh and ruthless, one General Manager (a psychopath????) was fired after an internal investigation because of his nasty attitude to staff. Poor attitudes to staff should not be tolerated, in Australian we have the Fair Work Commission which is usually effective.
I wish that all HR representatives would disclose valid reasons for employees to be fired from their jobs, especially for not so experienced employees.
We opened up businesses to lawsuits and litigation for letting anyone go. Not only is it dangerous to explain anything, but it's virtually impossible to fire people in some cases.
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.
Every company I've worked for is exactly this way. Squeeze you dry, without a care but pretend to. Always treat your company as what it is. A financial relationship. Nothing more. Also, I can tell you from experience. Move around. Ask for more. Don't be loyal to any corporation.
I think the biggest stick that employees can wield is that of social media where these companies that engage in this frequent hire and fire could be black balled so that employees run the other way and don't even apply.
corporate speech is cowardly because of eyerolling snowflakes. if they say "we fired her because she was scrubbing on her phone instead of working" then over 90% of people would start rolling their eyes and most likely they'd lose a lot of eyerolling snowflake customers, this is why they can't give reasons. giving a real reason for firing someone, can be very devasting to the company, that's why they beat around bushes.
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.
There's ALWAYS a reason. She specifically was fired for a reason. It could be anything from her race, to her gender to her hygiene, or an introverted personality, or her work performance, or her attitude towards others, etc, etc...anything. There's always a reason, and sometimes it's not fair.
@@bountyhunter4885it’s sad because the companies don’t care if you need to provide for yourself or even your family. If they just don’t like you then they’ll fire you and laugh when you end up homeless or even dead
@@patientmental875 They didn't say her sales were bad. They said she had "not met expectations for performance", but refused to go into specifics. If it was simple as not making sales (it's not clear from this video that she even was a saleswoman), they could have said so. But they didn't.
Firing someone isn't the actual issue. It's how it's done. If they tell her she's done good, but they can't afford or don't need her anymore, it would be a whole other thing. Just treat people like human beings.
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.
This plea by this poor woman has nothing to do with "Wokeness". She did not get caught doing something bad and then try to make the issue all about gender, or race, or some other "victim category". This is about an employee who worked her @$$ off and was completely unappreciated by a calloused employer. Anyone who understands Christian compassion will understand that. Jesus showed compassion for the blind, the lame, and the lepers by healing them. He did not call them "whiners", nor did he lecture them on "taking responsibility" for the hardships that they had.
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.
HR "We're firing you but we can't tell you why" Ultra rich news caster that's lost touch with reality: "you need to work harder and accept responsibility for the mistakes that were never disclosed
Absolutely. Four months in and nobody bothered to let her know she wasn't "working out"? If they were letting that many people go, they didn't need to critique her work ethic, just let her go.
@@strawb1793 I think they meant like a 1 or 3 strike rule. If they legit fired her because of poor performance, she would have gotten at least 1 or 2 warnings whether its just written documentation or her direct supervisor having a 1 on 1 with her with written documentation which is needed to back up their claims. If they don't have the actual proof that she was poor at her job (ie metrics, as well as warning as mentioned before) then she can take legal action.
That's not always the case. Because amazon had close down multiple warehouses without giving employees any type of notice. When the employees showed up for work that morning. They found out they were without jobs and unemployed without any prior written or verbal notice was given to the employees in multiple states. When they got to work that day. They collected, they work badges. The security team wouldn't let them in the gates. The poor employees was standing outside crying and devastated. First thing in the morning in multiple states. This was posted on multiple social media platforms a couple of months ago.
@@strawb1793she is in sales so this wouldn't apply to her but most tech companies I know will give you a warning if your performance isn't up to par. Or they will put you on a performance improvement plan. Either way the writing would be on the wall.
“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
This is why people like you FAIL. Listen to yourself. You expect the world to hand you sucess or hold your hand. You have to make that happen. If its not working then you need to find another path. That is what hard work is.
"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
@@tianshuhuang5431Yeah, that’s how it goes. Somebody just didn’t like her or needed the spot for a buddy. If she genuinely underperformed I feel like they would have argued with her when she said she worked really hard.
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.
@@paalpaal1326 Usually that insight and attitude comes AFTER you were fired or quit yourself from being sucked out by greedy, manipulative bosses. So don't talk like this.
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.
Sadly they don’t have to go into specifics. When it comes to performance issues they can find a needle in a haystack and stick it to you. It doesn’t really take much, they can just say this area needs improvement and it comes down to judgment calls which usually they always go with the manager’s word.
@@Dynomite611 She was there for 4 months and closed 0 deals. She brought this up because she obviously knew that is the reason she was being fired and then proceeded to make excuses for why she couldn't close a single deal, like as if they were going to reverse the decision.
@@ev25zv got you , thanks for the clarification. My view of any employment is if management wants to get rid of you they will find a reason. You can be employee of the year for 8 years straight and it won’t matter. I will never understand why people love to plaster their business on the internet. Keep it quiet, don’t hurt your future prospect of landing a job.
I don't understand how so many people commenting don't see through this facade and understand that she was performance managed out- this wasn't the first time she was told about her performance. Then I realize that the average person is not that intelligent and understand why other people so much more money.
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.
2 week notice is not a law...feel free to just up and leave. it's also not law to take jobs that you think is "beneath your pay level"...if you take it, then you have no right to complain afterwards...no human is forcing you to take that job...
I live here too, born and raised, patriotic to a point, but I agree we live in an awful country. While big brother and social media brainwashes us to believe otherwise.
It's necessary. She had to refer to herself in 3rd person to emphasize it. Otherwise, the company could later state that it was about person X or person Y. That is a normal practice during such situations.
@@NeonEnigmaJC no, that’s not a thing. That might be why she did it, but the overall context of the video makes it very clear she’s the one being fired, no question. In fact if this ever went to court for wrongful termination and she hadn’t used third person - and the defense used that as some kind of evidence that she was referring to person X or Y - their whole team would be laughed out of the courtroom.
So what if they want 2 weeks notice you don't have to give two weeks notice. Just because they want you to give 2 weeks notice, who cares? You can walk out at lunch and never come back.
My guess as a Ex Tech Support employee myself is she was probably one of the entry level agents over there. When I started out it was required that we sell, fix the issues customers would call in about, fix billing issues, etc. Basically everything possible to not have to escalate the call. This is only a guess though since I never worked for her company and info from like...8 years ago
Exactly! This video seems to have skipped the part when she admits to HR she didn't make a single sale in the entire 4 months she'd been with the company.
@@drippinwet774They did, they just didn’t word it in the way she wanted them to. I think they were trying to avoid going in circles with her, which is what she was doing.
@@drippinwet774 the woman in HR (in the full video you didnt watch) states she will get in contact with revenue leadership to relay the information to Brittany. She just wanted the information on the spot and wouldn't let them go without it
Still cracks me up that someone uploaded to the internet a video of them being fired for not performing well lol. "To be let go for no reason" is a gem of a statement 😂😂😂
Meghan Kelley couldn't last a single day in Tech or Tech sales, let alone 4 months. Don't call it "whiny wokeness" if you've never worked in the industry lmao
She deserves an explanation on why she was fired so she can improve for her next job. Also what is Megan Kelley talking about woke? Another person who uses woke in the wrong context.
People should know that HR is not your friend. They look out for the interest of the company and themselves. One thing you never do is sign anything HR tells you to do to some kind of disciplinary or termination or something. Never sign anything. At the very least not without completely reading it and understanding it and perhaps getting illegal expert to go over it.
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.
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.
@@patientmental875 No they didn't. The "reason" is about as vague and corporate as it comes. If you can't tell an employee the specifics of their firing, they clearly have a different motive at hand.
After you've been fired a half dozen times over the years, betrayed, gaslighted, made to train your own replacements, lied to, misled, ganged up on by coworkers through a dishonest boss, had several bosses at the same business... then you wouldn't understand exactly how this works.
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.
Same experience.....I never worked for a company or a boss who cared. So, myself and my co-workers didn't care either. We didn't care if our bad attitude or our slow work ethic ran business off. Double edged sword.
This poor woman worked her @$$ off for this calloused employer who didn't appreciate her hard work. That has nothing to do with "Wokeness", she did not claim to be part of some "victim category". She did not get caught doing something wrong and then use the gender card as a defense. Sometimes conservatives can actually be as bad as Leftists.
I'v never worked for a single company in my entire life the DIDN'T ever truly care about me or paid me what I was worth. I worked hard, did extra, put in extra, promoted ahead of others and ahead of schedule... and then if tough times come, I had made myself indispensable, while those that were just a dime a dozen were the ones that got the axe. I have never worked anywhere where the good, strong people got let go, and I worked a lot of jobs, was able to move to different places and command higher amounts because of my experience. Retired early a few years ago because I always saved. The corporate world sets things up to succeed rather easily, you have to work hard and understand how things work.
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.
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.
"Quiet quitting" is just a pejorative term made by CEO's who're playing golf at 1pm on Tuesday. If I'm supposed to go above and beyond, then so should amount on my paycheck ...
@@dorian1112 like the fact that quiet quitting exists. It’s basically when people just show up to their job and do their work but don’t really make much of an effort to go above and beyond because they feel like they don’t have to.
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
Meghan Kelley complains that Brittany doesn't know how the world works, and then condemns her for having the temerity to ask for an explanation.

There is signs such doing very good job at something yet you get blamed for other's mistakes or they tell you that you aren't good at your job, it's signs that they will fire you soon
Yes, whiny! Rather than ask to understand and discuss what she can learn from the experience, she helps create an uncomfortable exchange. She's young; she'll find another job. It's called Move On.
Yea how can an employer fire an employee IN a SALES position who didn't SELL anything for 4 MONTHS. Its just wrong and change needs to happen. Its like firing an Amazon delivery driver for not making any deliveries for 4 months.... like give the guy a chance, he will make deliveries next time.
She was not a tech worker. She had what is called a fluff position. Engineers dnt get treated like this cuz they actually to the tech work. She was a glorified secretary that worked for a tech company. Big difference.
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.
@@AtPlume And companies only talk like that because gov't forces them to. People like this girl want to have their cake and eat it too. She wants them to give reasons but if they're not the proper reasons, she'll try to sue them. So they give her generic legal jargon - that's what she asked for. She's never gonna run a business, never gonna make these decisions herself. She wants an easy job, and honesty, and for the company to be perfect, etc. You can't have all those things - real life involves compromises. Get used to that and life is much better.

They told her right there in the video she wasn't performing up to the level they wanted. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and go find another job and don't give up the fight! Stop crying about it.
She failed to understand that dynamic of the classic “tech-job” has changed. It was nice boom that lasted for years and after the mid-2010s, and now there’s someone who’s MUCH more educated than you and is willing to work for MUCH cheaper salaries. Not to mention that recent trends of LLMs dominating the software engineering sector. This is why I tell young people, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. The future is mystery and won’t be merciful for your needs. Always prepare!
In the culinary industry, at least, you can sometimes bargain for a second chance successfully. I don’t know about tech, because I’ve never worked in tech.
Why tf is this even making the news? Her recording herself shows she's wanting sympathy, I wouldn't dare hire her. She's soft and can't take accountability.
It doesn’t surprise me Meghan Kelly bashes the young woman and she has absolutely ZERO room to call anyone whiny, self entitled etc she is one of the most self entitled snowflakes I’ve ever seen. I mean she sued her company when she was fired
Yeah, it does tell you everything. Because if she didn't record it and post it online, it wouldn't have told us anything. Great job on her part, expose big business.
Sales is brutal competition, she thought her being pretty would do all the hard work for her lol, perhaps if she put out for potential clients she'd sell more lol
@deemen7132 This is demeaning. She said nothing of the sort. In fact, if you bothered to watch the video, she's asking why she's being fired and they wouldn't tell her. That's the issue. She's only been there 4 months. That's not enough time to really know protocol.
I was fired from babies r us for not selling enough credit cards when I sold five per month . A couple times the manager stole my customers as I was signing off them up so she could give them the credit card. I was also harassed daily on being more friendly when I already was. They went bankrupt and I couldn’t be happier .
I was let go from my job, and I begged to know why - they wouldnt give me a reason. It says "without cause" in my termination letter. I had no warnings, I was praised for months on how I was doing, so it was quite a shock to say the least for my coworkers and myself. And unfortunately it was legal here, I couldn't do anything. That was February, its now May and I'm still looking for a job, its not easy right now.
What you guys aren't listening to is. She didn't close one sale in the 3 months that she was there. That means she made no money for the company. She's gotta go.
Being fired and wanting clarity isn't woke, lol. but anyway, being fired is not the end of the world stop crying. I found this entire segment to be annoying, both in terms of commentary and the content.

It’s called lying about needing someone for a temp job.
@GillyWhitfootHaysend You hit the nail on the head. I was hired by Tractor Supply to open a new store and help assemble shelves, receive and stock merchandise, etc. I have never worked so hard in my life. After the store opened I worked as a cashier. 3 months after starting work the manager called 5 of us in to her office and terminated our employment. It was a humiliating experience for me as I had worked very hard, giving it my all. The truth is, Tractor Supply never intended to keep us on but we weren't hired as "temporary" employees. Companies should be honest when dealing with employees' lives.
Yes. They said it was normal to let go of 40 people this time of year. It was just her turn.
They could just be rotating employees to get the most profitable ones, but you might be onto something.
You answered the question with your own answer. It’s a temp job. Temp means temporary. Business doesn’t have to disclose how temporary the job is it could be 2 days it could be 2 months
watch the entire video, its because of her lack of sales... its a business not charity
You can’t “work harder” and “do better”, if you haven’t been told what you did wrong!

I agree. I’d find it more acceptable if I were given a proper explanation as of why a company is firing me.
Because they always get defensive and verbally abusive

Because our country is a neoliberal hellscape that would make Milton Friedman blush.
I thought it’s called at will.
In Canada, I always thought the probationary period was 6 months.
I live in very, very southern United States and most jobs I've gotten did tell me the first 90 days were probationary.
That is incorrect. The truth is, you can be fired for any reason, as long as they give you the required severance. It is termination without cause. They do not have to give you a reason.

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.
she sounds like a sniveling whiner to me
Gaslighting
It's irrelevant, they owe her nothing but a paycheck. She should find another job, unfortunately this stunt probably hindered future aspects.
Gotta throw those buzz words in. I don't know what "woke" has to do with any of this but it makes the mouth-breathers nod along.
Just because something is legal does not make it right or ethical. Fraudulent hiring.
“I’m really sorry you’re having this experience and feeling this way.”
That means NOTHING.
It's actually even more vile than being mean
Exactly. HR doesn't care at all about employees' lives.
Sounded like she was reading a script
They usually have a flowchart in front of them with replies for all possible scenarios. Just a bunch of robots that occasionally need toilets.
Yea this is why I say "Actions speak Louder than Words." I was in a company that had layoffs 20+ years ago. They were honest, clear, and explained everything. Even gave generous packages and hired an HR consulting firm that helps you with your resume and in finding a job. I'd work with them again if I stayed in that industry but I didn't. Great company. Their executives and HR was all business BUT very human.
Meghan Kelley has no business calling that woman whiney. She would sue the network if they terminate her.
So she’s a woman of action? The exact opposite of whiney? 🤣
“ 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.
I am not sure if it`s a woman.
I don't see any other reply to "But but but I've worked here for a whole 4 months!"
Yes HR should've told her to her face that she's incompetent especially when prompted about it, but let's face it: She's an entitled whiner.
She's not wrong tho. If an employee films the exit talk like this and acts like this: Just an entitled brat, who didn't hear her parents say no once in a while.
Megyn also likes to apply situations from decades ago to today as though nothing has changed. And isn’t she the one who sued Fox for getting fired(?)

@@Rick-f4j why would you apply to a job that fired you a year earlier?
American employment laws can be very cruel. I was a coach cleaner for Metro North Railroad for exactly one month before they terminated me for literally the exact same reason Brittany. It was a gut punch to be terminated from a job so quickly that I had waited 14 months to get. From the time I first applied to when I started work, it took 14 months and I lasted 30 days. Unfortunately when you’re on probation, the company can do whatever the hell they want and that’s what the MTA did to me. It can be very cruel. The United States also does not have a federal law that mandates paid time off for employees of any company. If the company you work for wants to give you paid time off, they can go right ahead and do that, if they don’t, sorry!! Too bad.

I wish that all HR representatives would disclose valid reasons for employees to be fired from their jobs, especially for not so experienced employees.

I think the biggest stick that employees can wield is that of social media where these companies that engage in this frequent hire and fire could be black balled so that employees run the other way and don't even apply.
corporate speech is cowardly because of eyerolling snowflakes. if they say "we fired her because she was scrubbing on her phone instead of working" then over 90% of people would start rolling their eyes and most likely they'd lose a lot of eyerolling snowflake customers, this is why they can't give reasons.

This plea by this poor woman has nothing to do with "Wokeness". She did not get caught doing something bad and then try to make the issue all about gender, or race, or some other "victim category". This is about an employee who worked her @$$ off and was completely unappreciated by a calloused employer. Anyone who understands Christian compassion will understand that.

With a bio like that and a video of you secretly recording a woman, I'm surprised you even have one.
@@ericpratt984 That's probably his "business" lol.
@@gitsurfer27 Hahahaha 😂
She didn’t close a sale people ….
Exactly! This video seems to have skipped the part when she admits to HR she didn't make a single sale in the entire 4 months she'd been with the company.
Oh shes in sales lol.
Why couldn't HR disclose that specific feature though?
@@drippinwet774They did, they just didn’t word it in the way she wanted them to. I think they were trying to avoid going in circles with her, which is what she was doing.
@@drippinwet774 the woman in HR (in the full video you didnt watch) states she will get in contact with revenue leadership to relay the information to Brittany. She just wanted the information on the spot and wouldn't let them go without it
And they want our loyalty?
No, most companies want you to show up and work. Most don't care about loyalty.
@@sarcasticguy4311
Showing up and working there is loyalty.
Still cracks me up that someone uploaded to the internet a video of them being fired for not performing well lol. "To be let go for no reason" is a gem of a statement 😂😂😂
I just got a 2 week notice that I'll be let go. There's actually a sense of relief when you get let go from a place you dreaded coming in. Freedom ✌🏽
Meghan Kelley couldn't last a single day in Tech or Tech sales, let alone 4 months. Don't call it "whiny wokeness" if you've never worked in the industry lmao
She deserves an explanation on why she was fired so she can improve for her next job. Also what is Megan Kelley talking about woke? Another person who uses woke in the wrong context.
People should know that HR is not your friend. They look out for the interest of the company and themselves. One thing you never do is sign anything HR tells you to do to some kind of disciplinary or termination or something. Never sign anything. At the very least not without completely reading it and understanding it and perhaps getting illegal expert to go over it.
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.
OK
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.
Super true. They have this saying that you're only as good as your last sale. Sales is for a particular person with tough skin.
She deserved a reason and idk why she’s being called weak. If I get fired I want a reason.
Omg they told her why
@@patientmental875 No they didn't. The "reason" is about as vague and corporate as it comes. If you can't tell an employee the specifics of their firing, they clearly have a different motive at hand.
@@Itsallanillusion30 Her performance & sales sucked its just that simple!
@@patientmental875Ok Onkel Addi!
@@patientmental875 then why didn't they tell her instead of "we can't get into the specifics"?
HR is not your friend.
Never attached yourself to work to the extent you feel absolute total betrayal when they ask you to leave.
Except for your biological relatives, never attach yourself to anyone or anything.
After you've been fired a half dozen times over the years, betrayed, gaslighted, made to train your own replacements, lied to, misled, ganged up on by coworkers through a dishonest boss, had several bosses at the same business... then you wouldn't understand exactly how this works.
@@exothermal.sprocket sounds like YOU were the problem, but I am sure that is not true, you seem like an angel and a machine of productivity
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.
Exactly so.
This is why the decreasing birth rates is a good thing.
Same experience.....I never worked for a company or a boss who cared. So, myself and my co-workers didn't care either. We didn't care if our bad attitude or our slow work ethic ran business off. Double edged sword.
This poor woman worked her @$$ off for this calloused employer who didn't appreciate her hard work. That has nothing to do with "Wokeness", she did not claim to be part of some "victim category". She did not get caught doing something wrong and then use the gender card as a defense.
Sometimes conservatives can actually be as bad as Leftists.
I'v never worked for a single company in my entire life the DIDN'T ever truly care about me or paid me what I was worth. I worked hard, did extra, put in extra, promoted ahead of others and ahead of schedule... and then if tough times come, I had made myself indispensable, while those that were just a dime a dozen were the ones that got the axe. I have never worked anywhere where the good, strong people got let go, and I worked a lot of jobs, was able to move to different places and command higher amounts because of my experience. Retired early a few years ago because I always saved. The corporate world sets things up to succeed rather easily, you have to work hard and understand how things work.
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.
Im sorry that happened to you
It's the "I'm gonna stop you right there" that makes this woman a complete loser
Who WOULDN'T want to fire her ?
Did she show up every day? That's rockstar level performance in today's job market.
@@hammerfist8763... She didn't make a single sale in her 4 months as a sales rep...
@@tr1p1eaHow do you know?
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.
Businesses don't quit, they fire...
"Quiet quitting" is just a pejorative term made by CEO's who're playing golf at 1pm on Tuesday. If I'm supposed to go above and beyond, then so should amount on my paycheck ...
That's why quiet quitters get let go First thank God.
@@dorian1112 like the fact that quiet quitting exists. It’s basically when people just show up to their job and do their work but don’t really make much of an effort to go above and beyond because they feel like they don’t have to.
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
That sucks! How long were you there for? And did they ever tell you were a temp?
at what Company?
@@mindsstalker Cambece Law Office ....it's a collection attorney...we were all just field mice
@@schusk75isnt it permanently closed?
@@schusk75I've seen that happen to other people, as well, in other industries.
Meghan Kelley complains that Brittany doesn't know how the world works, and then condemns her for having the temerity to ask for an explanation. The implication must be that Meghan is the kind of person who shuts up and lets herself be walked all over when she doesn't understand what's happening or why? Not sure what she's trying to say there..
“I’m sorry you feel this way” classic none apology. Very tedious.
What do you want him to say lol
What would you have said?
''We said it's over, grow up and continue with your life''
Why do you even think that they should apologize?
@@BuildinWings should he have said "get over it"?
@@chummygunbe a person
@@trailerwager8850 what?
I know it sucks now but that just means there's better for her out there.
Nice sentiment but no one is going to want to hire her after this.
@@josephl8765 Yeah ok
@@josephl8765Probably the opposite lol. She stands her guard and got viral. Cloudflare is probably gonna get cancelled after this
@@josephl8765plastering on the internet is definitely something I wouldn’t do. I’m sure a company out there would have some sympathy for this situation.
you mean only fans?
Whats with these old people saying us young people dont want to work? Im up at 2am everyday busting my ass working. The old people that say this at my job ive never seen them break a sweat and they in the same job I got at 20? Lets be real whos the one that doesnt wanna work hard? You old people act so privilleged it is un real.
the comment was aimed at young lazy people who don't want to work, not all young people. You need to learn comprehension before it gets you in trouble, assuming everyone with an opinion is out to get you
Companies: we want loyalty
Also Companies: your fired after only working here for 2 days
Sales. You hit your quota or the door hits you on the way out. This is heartless though by HR!
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
How did she even know to film it?
She had a feeling I suppose.
There is signs such doing very good job at something yet you get blamed for other's mistakes or they tell you that you aren't good at your job, it's signs that they will fire you soon
Usually HR will schedule a meeting with you, with vague descriptions on what they'll be discussing. That's probably why she recorded anything.
They warn u they gonna call sometimes
It happened to her friend who was working there right before they called her
Yes, whiny! Rather than ask to understand and discuss what she can learn from the experience, she helps create an uncomfortable exchange. She's young; she'll find another job. It's called Move On.
And how did she know she was getting fired to set up her camera?
Meeting with HR might have typed her off 😂
she smelled the rat
Maybe she puts up camera every time
>>Tech Employee
>>Works Sales
You're not a tech employee. You're sales.
Indeed.
lol Yeah, I was confused by that.
she kinda knew she'd be getting the boot and decided to film and to try to capitalize on it.
she should have known from day 1
Who WOULDNT try to capitalize their unfair termination, she was jobless after all?????
@@Lost-mb1gj how is it unfair exactly? Despite people saying they didn't tell her why, they literally told her she wasn't meeting expectations.
Keep filming folks, time for changes in employee relations.
Yeah. No one will hire her now.
You think "shaming" employers will get you the most ideal standards?
@@MMAmachinhead92 Maybe? Now you've got me self doubting my point lol
I will hire her. I respect honest people
Yea how can an employer fire an employee IN a SALES position who didn't SELL anything for 4 MONTHS. Its just wrong and change needs to happen. Its like firing an Amazon delivery driver for not making any deliveries for 4 months.... like give the guy a chance, he will make deliveries next time.
She was not a tech worker. She had what is called a fluff position. Engineers dnt get treated like this cuz they actually to the tech work. She was a glorified secretary that worked for a tech company. Big difference.
Never give your all for a company that isn't yours
Tell them. They're going to learn the hard way.
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.
You're not producing enough, as in, your performance isn't good enough? Lol
What's the difference?
_Performance expectations_ is such a dehumanizing way to put it, too. Like I'm a piece of machinery you bought and didn't meet your satisfaction.
@@AtPlume And companies only talk like that because gov't forces them to. People like this girl want to have their cake and eat it too. She wants them to give reasons but if they're not the proper reasons, she'll try to sue them. So they give her generic legal jargon - that's what she asked for.
She's never gonna run a business, never gonna make these decisions herself. She wants an easy job, and honesty, and for the company to be perfect, etc. You can't have all those things - real life involves compromises. Get used to that and life is much better.
@@Gretchaninovshe didn’t sell anything. She’s in sales. She got fired. End of story it’s not that deep
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!
And the cursing at the end explained it all😂😂
Sad af so what if you that good of a worker your have a new job before you know it. All people do is cry theses day it's called life no one owes you anything
@@grimmy86 at least have a little sympathy bro you put all your hours and work into this job and then suddenly become let go?? That's just a slap in the face
You just need to grow up.
@@Flat_Earth_Sophia and you need to learn to be more respectful !
They told her right there in the video she wasn't performing up to the level they wanted. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and go find another job and don't give up the fight! Stop crying about it.
"Love your Job, not the client or company, because you never no when the client stop loving You "
well said
I highly doubt your job loves you either.
If she loved her job, she would have made sales. :)
If a man recorded this, he would get flamed to hell and back 🤣
Not sure why you have to downplay a woman's voice when both men and women can have this reaction and anyone decent would empathize with them.
anytime aomeday say "im sorry you're feeling this way DOES NOT MEAN IT"
She failed to understand that dynamic of the classic “tech-job” has changed. It was nice boom that lasted for years and after the mid-2010s, and now there’s someone who’s MUCH more educated than you and is willing to work for MUCH cheaper salaries. Not to mention that recent trends of LLMs dominating the software engineering sector. This is why I tell young people, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. The future is mystery and won’t be merciful for your needs. Always prepare!
She probably got fired for always being on that phone 😂
lmaooooo tfw wahmen bad 😂😂😂
Has negotiating with someone who's firing you ever lead to anyone keeping their job? Serious question.
I don't know of any myself.
In the culinary industry, at least, you can sometimes bargain for a second chance successfully.
I don’t know about tech, because I’ve never worked in tech.
Why tf is this even making the news? Her recording herself shows she's wanting sympathy, I wouldn't dare hire her. She's soft and can't take accountability.
You never think things through before saying stuff.
It doesn’t surprise me Meghan Kelly bashes the young woman and she has absolutely ZERO room to call anyone whiny, self entitled etc she is one of the most self entitled snowflakes I’ve ever seen. I mean she sued her company when she was fired
The fact that she filmed it and posted it online for attention tells you everything
amen
Not really. It's just to expose the HR and how easily you can be replaced
Tells you she's making a protest???
Yeah, it does tell you everything. Because if she didn't record it and post it online, it wouldn't have told us anything.
Great job on her part, expose big business.
@@iseeyou9488if anything she shpuld be thanking the company. 4 months and zero sales???
Not everyone is good at sales, just a good opportunity to improve.
Sales is brutal competition, she thought her being pretty would do all the hard work for her lol, perhaps if she put out for potential clients she'd sell more lol
That’s legit the reason this blew up 😭😭
@deemen7132 This is demeaning. She said nothing of the sort. In fact, if you bothered to watch the video, she's asking why she's being fired and they wouldn't tell her. That's the issue. She's only been there 4 months. That's not enough time to really know protocol.
But they need to tell her why she was let go & what she needs to work on so she can improve herself. I do not advocate to publicize the conversation.
I was fired from babies r us for not selling enough credit cards when I sold five per month . A couple times the manager stole my customers as I was signing off them up so she could give them the credit card. I was also harassed daily on being more friendly when I already was. They went bankrupt and I couldn’t be happier .
The moment she said “imma stop you right there” is the moment you know, major red flag.
exactly.
"yeah i'm going to stop you right there"
"ok, and now you're fired twice"
"why tho"
"three times"
Megyn Kelly's knowledge of labor exploitation is as deep and nuanced as an 1800s plantation owner.
I was let go from my job, and I begged to know why - they wouldnt give me a reason. It says "without cause" in my termination letter. I had no warnings, I was praised for months on how I was doing, so it was quite a shock to say the least for my coworkers and myself. And unfortunately it was legal here, I couldn't do anything. That was February, its now May and I'm still looking for a job, its not easy right now.
Keep your head up and stay positive no matter what!
What you guys aren't listening to is. She didn't close one sale in the 3 months that she was there. That means she made no money for the company. She's gotta go.
Being fired and wanting clarity isn't woke, lol. but anyway, being fired is not the end of the world stop crying. I found this entire segment to be annoying, both in terms of commentary and the content.
Welcome to the real world for the spoiled young people.
