I have no doubt this came down from higher up. The reality is that telling someone that they are being fired for unspecified performance reasons when you could just as easily tell them that their position is being eliminated through no fault of their own is outright cruel. In their attempts to make it look like they aren’t doing layoffs they have made the whole internet aware that they are doing layoffs, and that they are treating their employees terribly.

And now they have created a bit of a pr snafu. How many talented people with good performance reviews at Cloudflare are now looking for the door.
