You would think that companies would take the easy step of not using internal company nicknames in these press releases (Stackers.)

"Employee" has come to mean transactional and disposable, and I don't know how many leaders still feel obligation towards employees.
Maybe thinking of people as people, rather than as what "employee" has come to mean, will activate feelings more like "our people" or "my people".
