They kept up the friendly talk like “we love the culture your company has and we want to replicate it across the org” until our original CEO left, then the straight talk started happening. It became very clear to me and others that they just wanted to pump revenue until they could sell us off for a 10x (or higher) multiple.
The somewhat heartening news is that the new CEO and all his ahole underlings all got fired by the board after the dumpster fire they created was fully ablaze. That was about a year after the HR talk I mentioned.
