Loading ...Mandatory company meeting today. The Corp. President (who has never been here before) tells us we are doing a great job, the company has never been better, so…. they sold us! Worse, they sold us to a company who has a reputation as a poor corporate steward, famous for job cuts and stripping down companies before ‘flipping’ them again.
Pretty much stunned silence from the staff. Present corporate was pretty good, with great retirement program and benefits. I’m too damn close to ‘retirement’ and was hoping to put the icing on my retirement cake with this company. Now I will be ‘vested’ at a much lower level at present as they exit, and I seriously doubt that new owners will be happy with any new retirement or pension funding. I still have a job for the few months before new ownership. After that it’s ‘pot luck’ for an old fart in a small, highly specialized technical field. I may have to move, again.
Maybe I will just retire to a tree house in the jungle back in Hawaii. If I save up, maybe I can install a toilet!
