This just happened to me. We got along fine, but this person's demeanor immediately changed to a textbook linkedin-cringe-fest, and after having been reading this subreddit for awhile my perspective on the utility of middle management has become pretty negative, so I can feel my respect for this person about to decrease significantly, unfortunately. I feel we have lost another to the brainwashing of the necktie. I will raise a glass to the working class later today. Cheers.
