When the Berkshire Hathaway boys took over Heinz here in Pittsburgh it was basically an offer you couldn’t refuse.
“We are going to be changing the entire culture of how this company is run. We assure you, you are not going to enjoy working here after the changes. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you take the buyout on the table and leave NOW!”
All Disney bought were the MOVIE CATALOG and MOVIE BUSINESS..................
““We are going to be changing the entire culture of how this company is run. We assure you, you are not going to enjoy working here after the changes. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you take the buyout on the table and leave NOW!”
At least they were honest about what was coming.
Imagine, all these smug California liberals in their nice little Hollywood dream jobs, then all of a sudden REALTY BITES THEM IN THE ASS.................
Gee, there’s a tragic loss to humanity.
I have some sympathy, since the same thing happened to me in 1981.
It totally disrupts your life, but whining about it doesn’t do anything to help..................
Wonder how many positions could’ve been saved if ABC hadn’t renweed “The Connors”. ...
What these people do not understand and cannot contemplate is that when a merger happens, a whole bunch of people will lose their jobs in the process. There is no need for two sets of administration. This is also the time when the ax falls on the lazy, the incompetent and the now-disconnected brother-in-law.
Usually people on both sides are affected, but a company I once worked for lost its entire management when the new company took over and fired every one......................
BH is like the borg. When they moved into retail real estate there was a shock wave of agents that couldn’t take the culture change.
In every case, I got out on my own simply because the merged company wasn't the same company where I had been employed previously. I left because I wanted to work in my kind of company -- not someone else's.
My company does an odd thing. They tend to adopt the senior management and culture of the company they just bought. Half dozen acquisitions in ten years. In one case they promoted the CEO of the company we brought to be the CEO of the whole company.
Hey, ivory tower idiots, if they were doing things so well they wouldn’t have been up for sale.
Another thing they do is adopt tools and practices of the old company. Does our account system have issues ? Sure. But maybe it would be better to fix the issues instead of migrating to their accounting system and have to deal with their issues and the disruption of a migration.
After what Fox did to Jeanine Pirro I hope they all get the ax.
Different company......................
None of them stuck up for her. OAN ripped Fox a new one.
Disney is another big multinational corporation that needs to be broken up under anti-trust laws. Too much concentrated power.
“When you wish upon a star,....”
Ah, good times.
