It said volumes. In effect, "we don't care what we said, we believe so strongly in a meritocracy that we are going to go back on our word. You work for me at my whim." Must be a horrible place to work.

It said to me: "We believe so strongly in 'meretrocracy' that we have gone from pretending to be 'meritorious' to being 'meretricious.'" Ok, I made up meretrocacy. It's derived from the L. 'meretrix' meaning 'prostitute.' Meretricious however is in the dictionary, and even my spellcheck!
