Its a type of condescention, maybe some people fail to recognize it (thats probably the reason why its used in the first place).

Yes yes yes. That’s what I can’t stand - I don’t mind the hypocrisy, what really grates is the condescension. Who are you to congratulate me? Why would the opinion of some random corporate bullshitter mean anything to me?

And of course the whole political game where people have to send congratulations just to signal that they’re part of leadership
