Maybe I’m a cynic, but nobody writing or reading that stuff believes it, do they? So who are they trying to impress?

This genre of LinkedIn posts are the worst. It's all performative. Even when the scythe is hanging over their head, these people find a way to inject toxic positivity into their posts.
"I'm so excited to announce this hostile takeover by <company>! They're leaders in <field> and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with <name>. We work stronger when we work together. :muscle-emoji:"
