In all seriousness it would be fun to know a little more about the story. Was this a rebellious act? Is this practice more common? Did this company do more things like this? Was the restraint in the message a sign of professionalism? Was the message debated? Was there one guy who was like, "guys the internet is gonna hate this"? Was this OG sh*t-posting!?

Overreaction to a definitely arguably true statement. You can tell the bitterest basement dwellers when they self-identify by using the word vapid. It's the dead giveaway word.
