Two become one
[d1noli @ Thursday, November 18, 2004] It was announced today that our company was bought out by another company.Sheesh, and to think I was beginning to be happy about work. Now this happens and once again everything is stressful. That's corporate America for you.
"Screw the little people!" That's the motto.
And it sucks.

A nice Jewish boy once pointed out to me: "Shit rolls downhill." Corporate buy-outs, takeovers, mergers, acquisitions... somehow that illustrates the point.
Would you happen to know which company just bought you? And how is the situation now? It would be so much easier if there was no such thing as politics or redundancy.
As always, we are here to remind you that things have a strange way of working out fine. You guys have so often reminded me about that in the past and it has turned out to be true so far-- yes, job offers in NYC can disappear along with the World Trade Center, but here I am now in Hong Kong; you were right about the heartbreaks, too-- they just leave you open with more possibilities... I won't jinx it by talking too much :D
Anyway, hang tight. There are few certainties in life. One of them is this: (let me toot our Alma Matter horn, with the Ateneo's sesquicentennial coming up in 2009) the education we got in college (and yes, high school too, so someone won't feel left out!) is one of the best in the world. After meeting so many people from all over, I can say that with a lot of confidence. Take my case, for example. I'm a computer geek, yet what makes me the best at what I do in my job has very little to do with my computer classes in college. Core curriculum rules!
Oli, I'm sure it's the same for you, too.
Non multa, sed multum.
I'm back! At least for today....
Yeah, I heard K-Mart bought Sears. Strange, because I thought K-Mart was going down the tubes, so it would be more logical for Sears to buy out K-Mart, not the other way around.
But again, let me echo what Russell said, things have a way of working themselves out.
Guess what, now you can buy Martha Stewart items at a discount!!! :D
