tldr for the written word makes sense because it's a visual cue that you can get a quick summary
saying "tldr" and then giving the summary after everyone had to sit through your long-winded b.s. is just a way of recapping, but WE ALREADY HAD TO HEAR THE WHOLE THING
I think if I heard someone say "here's the tldr;" and then give a quick explanation followed by a longer one I'd only be slightly bothered by it but of course people love to be long-winded blowhards so that will only happen in a moment of post-rambling shame

yeah this was me lol my friend said it irl in a non-work social setting. hated it
in the last two weeks my work slack has been absolutely inundated with kernels of shitty self-care wisdom from management, like "remember to get up and stretch," "take a walk around the block," "you're doing great," "you got this," and "when was the last time you had water?"
there's also been a number of emails to the whole staff where it's like, "when was the last time you took a friday off? please, take care of yourself." and like every day now some manager will start the day in slack with something like, "tell me in the replies what kind of coffee you're drinking this morning!"
anyway, all of this leads me to believe that there's probably been a recent influx of "remind your employees to take care of themselves" PR thinkpieces that I just haven't noticed. or someone further up the chain told everyone to start "fighting burnout" and it manifested as all of these shitty rise-and-grind platitudes that everyone reacts to with a heart emoji or whatever
our self-care channel in slack hasn't been active for like a month now and it's got me worried. i mean i hated it and never participated, but we used to have those kind of prompts every day too.

I can’t think of a better way to accelerate employee burnout
