[Trust no manager]

I have been through restructuring twice, one was euphemistically called 'business process re-engineering', the other euphemistically called 'strategic planning'. Managers and designers of the restructuring lied about the real goal, saying that the goal was to achieve a 'seamless interface with clients' for example. From the results of both restructurings, it was blatent that the real goal was to save money by cutting staff. The consensus amongst colleagues was that managers weren't honest about their real goals. Restructuring documentation used many euphemistic terms and vague statements to disguise the organisation's genuine goal. I have found that these actions have caused a great deal of distrust and bad will towards managers and organisations. Have other employees come across this? Do managers and employers really think that employees believe their various claims about restructuring? Have managers and employers found that employees left after restructuring are distrustful and negative towards them?
