Question about defunct agency names. I used to work at an agency and they merged with another agency with a different name.

Now my linkedin resume links to a completely unrelated company with the same old name. Should i rename my experience to the new company that my old employer merged with to avoid confusion? Not sure what to do. Thanks and i love you. You're doing great.

Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
