The company “needs to take a number of measures in response to the harsh trading environment,” Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said in a memo to staff Monday. “One of the measures we are taking is a general freeze to base pay for 2015, with only a few exceptions.”

Pretty sure employees will be working for free.

My company is large and publicly traded and we had a temporary raise and promotion freeze last year before earnings reports came out. They were apparently worried about them, but they were great and the freeze was immediately lifted.

Did you really think people would just continue working while not getting a paycheck?

Freezing raises isn't exactly a new thing.

My company instituted a 5% pay cut during the recession.

They might hope that some people leave because of it too.
