It strikes me as a naturally human and totally understandable thing to do. This seems like their way of reclaiming some agency over what happened to them, as well as trying to put a brave face on things. Also it probably helps them (re)connect with some sense of community — the article mentions they'd usually post these things on their internal forum, but they were ripped away from that community too quickly. Some might even say it's a classy move — take a step back and reflect on the good parts, hand out some "thank you"s, etc. I never got into the whole "posting on LinkedIn" thing — and I probably still wouldn't in this situation — but I think it is easy enough to empathize and see why someone might. These are weird and rough economic times, and they're just doing their best to stay afloat. Same as you or me.
