Todd:
In my experience this is corporate double speek for "The CEO bought a bigger
yacht and we're making the payments by stiffing the employees out of their
raises!"
I worked for a large commercial screen printer several years ago. After a
company wide meeting we were told that it was a bad year and no one would be
getting raises, and several people were laid off.
Later that week, the CEO got rid of his 2 year old BMW and got a new Lexus!
His reward for his brilliant restructuring plan.
Of course, he was the guy who steered the company into the mess it ws in,
but nobody dared talk about the obvious!
Hang tight, something better will come along.
