Despite assurances from management, some workers believe the company will be subject to censorship by its new owners.

Assurances from anyone with an MBA are worth less than nothing. They are professional liars. They pretend they aren't with the bullshit "optimism isn't lies", except it absolutely is when you KNOW your optimistic interpretation is bullshit. It's like that Dr. Nick bit.

Dr. Nick: "With my diet, you can eat anything you want, any time you want!"

Marge: "And you'll lose weight?"

Dr. Nick: "You might! It's a free country!"

If it benefits the company to lie about impending layoffs, then management will lie. It's baffling how many people have difficulty with this concept.

I don’t know why you got downvoted. This is a valid point.

It’s almost as if people who will “toe the line” are more likely to get promoted to management. Until the leopards come for them as well.

Assurances from anyone with an MBA

What about assurances from MBS?
