The CEO of a company tells her employees that ""each department will be restructuring within the next six months."" A department head in the same company tells employees that the department will sustain layoffs within the next six months. How do the statements compare?

The CEO is in-explicit, department head is direct and clear

Explanation:

CEO's message to employees  regarding a pending restructuring at various departments within 6 months is not definite but tentative, expected to occur before the six months elapse. Restructuring can be anything including retrenching, and transfer or anything not specified. The department head is clear about the layoff agenda which is bound to happen within six (6) months ultimatum.
