> Why these melodramatic posts ?

Morale. It’s important that the remaining employees are psychologically secure. They’re trying to make sure they know the company isn’t in jeopardy and that management has them in mind.

In my /opinion/ a personal address, one on one assurances from a trusted manager, this might be more effective, but HR also needs to be careful that the messaging is consistent so this kind of post is probably seen as the best alternative

So why not send this out as an email? What purpose does a public proclamation serve?

This type of BS wouldn’t make me psychologically secure. It would make me afraid because I can’t trust what leadership says.

You should lead a company you are trustworthy
