Under California Law (Cloudflare is HQ'd in San Francisco), she is employed "at-will." Unless covered by a union contract, she can be fired/laid off at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all. According to such law, the company does not need to provide any information as to the reason she was terminated. However, one could argue that it would be a common and professional courtesy to give straight answers. The only unlawful reasons were if she was terminated for violation of her civil rights based on a few protected classes, was harassed, or if she was retaliated against as part of a few protected activities (whistleblower, jury duty, labor organizing, safety comlaint). "When an employee feels that they have been terminated, harassed or discriminated against based on their race, religion, gender, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, medical condition, marital status, age (over 40), sexual orientation or denial of family medical leave, they should contact the Department of Fair Employment and Housing at 1-800-884-1684 or at www.dfeh.ca.gov" Text in full: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/TerminationOfEmployment.pdf |
