What Happens to My Job Now?

Share
It looks as though the sale of the company that I work for is about to reach its final stages. Since upper management has told us very little, rumors have been rampant. We're reasonably sure they're not going to shut down the business. We're not sure if a corporate relocation may be in the works once a sale is finalized. We do know that the company president did very well. He had a 3% ownership which the new owners bought out. We've also learned that he received a very nice severance package as CEOs usually do. This probably explains why he's been smiling like he never has since I've known him. Either that or he drowned a litter of cute kittens over the weekend.

As for us pions, we hope that the new owners will be business people --- ones who understand the importance of rewarding workers for their blood, sweat and tears. This would be a happy change after dealing with owners who fattened their bank accounts by treating their workers as necessary evils. One thing that I've learned from working here is that business integrity can be like oxygen. The higher you go, the less of it there is...
