My company got bought out. Supposedly a good thing... Anyone got stories?

    I’ve been in companies that got acquired, and I’ve been in companies that acquired another, most recently I was at a place that only existed to acquire and merge companies.

    Hope you got vested shares.

    Good thing? Depends on which country you're living in I suppose. In some countries, acquisitions often mean restructuring and laying people off...

    If management is telling you it's a good thing, ask why (if you have a good relationship with your manager). What specific benefits will you have? If they can't answer, start polishing up your resume.

    Mergers and aquisitions normally are real bad for all people involved except share holders and managers.

    The office gets quieter. Not a bad thing. But also not a safe thing.
