Dishonest communication - Anonymous employee IT Authorities Employee Review

Dishonest practices. There have been many layoffs and much restructuring. Layoffs and restructuring have to happen sometimes, but when there is a round of layoffs, then a company-wide email from the CEO exclusively promising no more layoffs this year, and then another round of layoffs with 5 months left in 2018, that says a lot about the self-proclaimed open communication the company claims to practice. I would like to stress that the CEO even qualified his own statement with "this year," meaning that further mass layoffs next year are possible. But then again the initial promise was never kept, so more layoffs tomorrow are possible, too. People don't trust the leadership anymore. There was recently a company meeting where the top level management answered questions nobody asked. They kept talking about money, and said they were surprised that no one is asking if the company is financially struggling. I wasn't wondering if the company was financially struggling before, but I have to say I am wondering that now that you brought it up unsolicited and spent so much time on the topic. The people that made it through the layoffs are those who are well below the pay bracket for their position and have been putting in the work in hopes of recognition in the form of financial compensation. That's not going to happen, and if it is, not to the extent people are hoping for. Anyone who was paid competitively, on par with the market, has been laid off. Raises were supposed to happen in late 2017, then delayed until early 2018, now delayed again until late 2018, all while the company keeps bringing up the fact that is has a lot of money in the bank without anyone asking. They don't realize no one is buying it.
