The most reassuring posts here were those from people who personally met with our management team.

There are a couple of from Fairchij, Rainer and others. You should have a read.

We as humans are a very social kind of creature. In times where we hadn't yet devoloped speech communication was solely non-verbal. To survive it was essential to interpret the actions of others. And actually we're really good in that. Scientific studies have shown that we build an almost complete image of our counterpart within milliseconds.

Tenor of all the above mentioned posts was a really enthusiastic appreciation of the people who the posters met with. I only recall posts about management's dedication, engagement, honesty and their commitment.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that these posts were written after talking face to face with management and that, for me, is more telling than any possible conspiracy theory.
