In the Netflix movie Mank there’s a great scene, based on real events, where MGM studio head Louis Mayer gives a heartfelt speech to the studio workers, convincing them to accept a temporary 50% pay cut due to the Great Depression. Of course in the movie (and many say, also real life) Mayer was crying crocodile tears and later on never repaid anyone their promised back wages even when the company could easily afford to do so. So being creeped out isn’t necessary the wrong reaction.
