About five years ago, I went through a merger, and it was an interesting experience. Fortunately, our group handled it with ease. But I can totally relate to the challenges. For us, communication was essential, as it made the changeover easier for everyone.

I see. Communication has to be key! I’ve seen too many times where things get misconstrued due to improper communication.

Being acquired? Sell your shares (if applicable), find another job, and jump ship ASAP. Nothing good ever comes from being acquired unless you are the owner/investors

I see. It was a little bit of a hostile takeover years ago. Company was being bought from a Danish company and they took over everything and brought over all their people and even got rid of key people in our team, even upper management! Very scary times!
