When covid started a big name came to our office to announce cuts and saving plans. It was one hour townhall style meeting with everyone present to receive the news in person. I was shocked and flabergasted that someone could stand in front of couple hundred people and tell them with the same breath that the situation is so dire that we have to stop using printers and we'd better start bringing our own toilet paper to the office, and complain that the company only made 2 billion last year, which is absolute disaster and the company won't surive if we won't adapt. I was even more shocked when I approached fellow colleagues after the townhall, whom all seemed to completely swallow the pill - "you heard it? bollocks, right?" - "yeah, but you saw the charts, it's absolute disaster. I'm glad they took my bonus and let me keep my position".
