Yup. Being acquired sucks. Part of it is that Disney probably hasn’t made all the decisions. Last time I got bought there were layoffs on day one, and they straight out said they weren’t done, there would be more in 60 to 90 days as they got a better handle of how the companies fit together.

Sounds like you work for Broadcom, or one of the other Avago conquests.

I've lived through a couple of mergers/acquisitions. In the last one I was one of the drivers of it, in a senior management role.

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.
