anyone survived a company merger/acquisition?

[Maverick]

They just announced one at my company this morning. Peoplesoft and J.D. Edwards are merging. I'll probably find out in a few days whether I"m still gonna have a job in 90 days. Anyone have any experiences?

 

[Moonbeam]

So far every one there's been.

Yeah, but nobody found out about it until Stream was bought by Solectron.

At least you don't have to work there anymore.

Neither do you. However, you choose to. I quit before that place destroyed me. I guess you're easier to lead around like a sheep than I am. 😛

you mean, murders/executions?

My company got bought by a new group of "investors" and they are currently running the company into the ground. But i still have a job.

Yes. Be prepared for a lot of policy changes and a general cluster feck for the first year.

Something like that, I make too much money to just walk away. Also, I would prefer to be eligible for unemployment if I get laid off - If I walk out that won't happen. Plus, I won't have to explain to any future employers why I walked out.

I've survived a few mergers, one thing you get used to (whether you like it or not) is change is imminent.
