Doesn't the WARN act just come down to paying severance that covers at least the notice period? Sometimes I feel like comments here are premised on WARN being a magic spell that prevents arbitrary termination.

Yes, but is she being offered severance?

It's not that. I just honestly cannot think of any reason for Cloudflare to do this. What good reasons are there to lie to an employee (and presumably therefore also to that employee's future potential employers) about their performance?

Isn’t the WARN act just for larger layoffs (50 or 75+)?
I had assumed this was part of a larger layoff, but I don't know.
