Were you ever part of an acquisition as an employee of the acquired company? Is it true that the company acquiring you often gives a retention bonus? If so what was it and how was it structured?

I didn't experience that. Actually the parent company then laid off 200 employees about 9 months later.

What was your role at the time?

I doubt anyone would get offered a retention bonus unless they/their role is essential to the running of the company.

Typically it would be a “stay until X date and we will pay you $Y”.

A portion of the c-suite might get a retention offer. They aren’t usually offered to a broad group.

Hi fishes,

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting but I thought I’d try to ask, I received a request from a recruiter to interview for a new insurance company I’ve never heard of: Branch. Looked it up and it seems to be a new “Techsurance” company working with both home and auto policies. Does anyone have any information they could share about this company? Thank you!
