Had a good chat with the new owner. He shook his head and sighed and said “I know exactly what you mean, and I’m sorry you’ve have had to deal with this siuation. I’ve talked to some of the people involved and an I’m working on a solution. I appreciate your semi-neutral point of view as not one of the immature fucktards (his words) making it this way. I understand your concerns and I have many of the same ones.” He didn’t have a solution, but he very much gave the all important vibe of working on it and giving a shit. I feel somewhat better. Still crossing my fingers that I won’t have to use my newly polished up resume too soon. I actually like my job (and it pays well), it’s just my co-workers and some of the ex-owners (management) I can’t stand.

I’ve been through about 5 mergers and the companies that got bought averaged about 80% headcount reductions (the remaining 20% were often second-class citizens). It absolutely sucks and these kinds of messages — along with occasional “continuity bonuses” — serve the goal of reducing the disruption and turnover until the new management can learn the process decide all the details. I’m just speaking generally here...you are going to be unfortunately tainted by whatever the old management did. It's messed up, totally unfair, but you MIGHT be able to distance yourself from the old people and pitch yourself like a whistleblower. Kiss a lot of ass if you can.

I’ve had several clients go through being acquired. It’s never been pretty.
