Last year, our company performed a salary survey in our market near
Cleveland. When the results came back, the salary ranges were
drastically altered downward by about 15K for systems programmers.
Of course all of us balked at the idea that we were worth 15K less
than the year before. Only after much wrangling did our management
finally cave in and keep the old salary ranges. However, none of us
have been promoted in the last 5 years!

I am not too surprised at this. Cleveland has not been known for its
IS jobs, I can't remember the last time a head hunter even asked
about Cleveland. I think I would have spoken up and asked to at least
hear about how many companies were sampled (and their gross profit)
after all that probably the only way to compare apple to apples.
Anyway sorry to hear you got the raw end of the deal. Any company
that pulls things like that don't deserve much loyalty, IMO.
