I look at it this way: if there's not much you can do about it, why worry? it might be nothing.

I give odds that this is the case ^^^^^

Strategic HR is very big right now. 20 years ago HR leaders were basically recruiters and benefits managers stuck in middle management. Now, the top HR manager is typically in the top five highest paid persons in senior management, and even CAO (Chief Admin Officer). Strategic HR initiatives are right up there with sales and ops now that we're nearing full-employement.

Unless you hear acquisition rumors, I would;t worry to much.
