On Jan. 9, TikToker Brittany Pietsch posted a video of her layoff from tech company Cloudflare. The video went viral, with various outlets weighing in both on how the company handled the layoff and Pietsch's choice to post it at all. "I documented my layoff because at that point I was already very active on TikTok," she tells Make It. "I think that this is insanely risky for future job prospects," says Nolan Church, former Google recruiter and current CEO of salary data company FairComp. You could still make a measured, professional post in that moment, but it would be just as easy to get emotional.
