My company was bought out, and now

[WoodsCraft]

Sorry to hear of the work woes , but that's how things work anymore with companies being constantly purchased, absorbed and etc. Take the kings coin , do the kings bidding until you can retire then do so with little notice and proceed to go fishing.

Mgt. didn't change, only the owner status. We kept our name and insurance but increased our workload 100%. It's an odd situation. The techs took a huge pay cut, but Mgt didn't.

New owner has to make his coin back. So, cut salaries, increase workload, don’t hire replacements, more pressure on sales/mktg until it all goes into the crapper. Then wonder why it fails.

ETA since I forgot: reduce inventory, switch suppliers to inferior quality, change payment terms and find numerous ways to piss off customers.

OP,
Very sorry to hear about your dog and I hope everything works out with your job.

And, to top it off, we found out our rescue dog is eaten up with the C word. We've had her since she was pup and that was 10 years ago. The best dog that was not the most intelligent, but she is a great protector.

give her fenbendazole three days a week
