Company not interested in giving salary increases, only in making acquisitions - Anonymous employee Descartes Systems Employee Review

Employees have been subjected to a salary freeze due to the current economic situation. Employees were ok with the salary freeze until the CEO sent out a video talking about the current economic situation, not mentioning anything about employees salary freeze but kept stressing that we need more acquisitions and for employees to be on the lookout for companies we can acquire and to bring it to management's attention. So you have no money to give Employees a salary increase, but you have money to acquire more companies? I guess Employees don't come first for him. On top of the salary increase freeze, we have to see emails go around welcoming new hires and Employee promotions.
