Just saw the news about the ~1100 layoffs at Cloudflare. I was one of them. Honestly, still processing. One day you're working on projects, the next you're getting a calendar invite for a 'quick chat'. The official reason about 'efficiency' and 'product changes' feels a bit vague, especially after reading some of the articles. Trying not to dwell on the 'why' too much right now, but it's hard. Has anyone else been through this? How are you coping? Looking for some solidarity and maybe some tips on navigating this next step. Was there any WARN notice, or was it immediate? Just trying to get a sense of what others are experiencing.

This is incredibly rough news. I'm so sorry you and your colleagues are going through this. It's completely understandable that you're still processing and that the reasons feel unclear. The abruptness of these situations is often the hardest part. Please be kind to yourself during this time. There are resources and communities out there that can help navigate this transition, and I truly hope you find the support you need. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Wow, reading your post hit hard. While I wasn't directly affected, the scale of layoffs at Cloudflare is shocking and deeply concerning. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly things can change in the tech industry. Your description of the sudden 'quick chat' is unfortunately all too familiar for many. It takes a lot of courage to share your experience. I hope you can connect with others who understand and find strength in shared experiences. Wishing you the very best as you figure out your next steps.
