Leaked Microsoft memo tells managers not to use budget cuts as an explainer for lack of pay rises: ‘Reinforce that every year offers unique opportunity for impact’::Managers are being ordered to dodge employees’ questions about how the latest budget cuts will impact their pay.
In other words “Leaked memo tells managers to lie”.
It’s not the lie that matters. It’s what the lie is.
I think most of us just assume lying is the standard from companies.
