Social media users are unsure what to think of marketing exec Brittany Pietsch and her decision to record her firing experience.
Pietsch, a former mid-market account executive at Cloudflare, went viral after posting a video on TikTok of her firing Zoom call with two HR employees on January 10.
She reposted the TikTok video on January 11, and X (formerly Twitter) user Alex Cohen posted the video on his profile later that day.
The viewership amount of all three videos adds up to nearly 6 million social media users.

We fired ~40 sales people out of over 1,500 in our go to market org. That's a normal quarter. When we're doing performance management right, we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they're going to be successful or not. Sadly,…
