C、Only
D、But
答案D
解析 逻辑衔接题。根据原文Some reckon the new cordiality reflects a feeling that everyone is in the same boat：when some firms have to fire good performers as well as bad，no one is safe．______if people at different firms are being nicer to each other,things may not be getting any nicer inside companies．(有人认为这种新的热诚反映出一种人人同舟共济的感觉：当部分企业不得不不分良莠地裁员时，没有谁是安全的。______如果说不同公司的人对彼此更加友好的话，在公司内部，事情可能就没有任何改观了。)可知此处应该表达转折的关系，故D项为正确选项。
