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.

For starters, Herd says, managers should look the employees they're dismissing in the eye, rather than reading from a script.

"From the Gen Z perspective, this woman feels like a hero," Schawbel said about Pietsch. She got followers, she got attention, because of the algorithm and the echo chamber that surrounds her on social media, and on TikTok especially." Social media fame, likes, followers, and comments might create a facade of social connection for some lonely Gen Zers.
