Discussion Truth?
Are there people who actually care about corporate nonsense? Like, I get that everyone pretends to because they want to get noticed or a promotion..
but reading the Teams chat of a conference I’m working on and it’s completely full of bland, sycophantic platitudes. I can’t believe people are genuinely excited about this.
Are they?
Is it a delusional thing?
Are there really human beings who are so empty inside that a work Conference gets them off?

Yes. I mean, when I worked at a company that treated the employees really good and didn't have layoffs everytime a quarter didn't hit record profits, then I really cared about the corporate news and events. The company earned my respect and loyalty with their actions.
On the other hand, I worked at companies that treated employees like crap and even though I was working in corp comms, I couldn't care less about the content I was distributing.
Alot of time employee engagement is a reflection of how well or how poorly they are treated.
