This is a virtual brainstorming thread to discuss what you would do if your employer was bought out by a "firm" from Communist Red China. Please join in and share your ideas! :-)

I'd go with the Lemon Chicken.

They always bread and deep fry the Sweet and Sour and that gives me heartburn.

[Huck]

Take ronger runches.

[LongsforReagan]

Start learning Chinese.

[pganini]

How about if they build a plant where you live:

It's Haier, the refrigerator, beer maker company. You might know them as the one that sells the wine coolers in Bestbuy or Fry's.

[TheOtherOne]

Work.

[lucyblue]

Bump.

[theDentist]

Start seeking employment elsewhere, because once they know what the job is and how it's done, you're out anyhow.

[agere_contra]

Are they paying a competitive wage? That's the question.

Please share your thoughts on this virtual brainstorming thread!

[Spiff]

Kill every Chinese I saw.

I knew we could count on you.

[Publius6961]

Start learning Chinese.

Seriously, this would be my first choice, also, followed by identifying the most likely successful domestic competitor, and dusting off my resume.

More on this later.

Remember, suicide is painless.

The Chinese are cheap, cheap bastards. they continually try to screw everyone they deal with.

I would seek employment elsewhere.

[deadeyedawg]

Ask for lots of General Tso's chiucken, extra spicy, in the cafeteria.

[RedWhiteBlue]

Are you caught up in the Maytag / Haier situation? If the deal goes through, as soon as Haier gets a handle on the Maytag technology and production processes, there's a high probability that they'll close down the American plants and move production to China. Unless the US decides to slap some heavy import duties on Chinese goods .......

Well, I guess I'd stick my head between my legs and kiss my "royal, rosie red Irish ass" goodbye.
Cuz, if mainland China ever "acquired" my employer, then they will have succeeded where Japan, Germany and Russia have failed.
You see, my employer is the U.S. Government.

If in management...I would use whatever influence at my disposal to work and advise against it. If it went through anyway...because of my opposition, I am afraid my course would already be set and I would at the same time be looking for other opportunities so when the walking papers came I was not caught flat footed.

If a line worker, lower management or mid-management employee...I would look for other options during the run up and tranisition period, arrange for them while continuing to do a good honst job, and then give my notice professionally as soon as I found other employ.
