So it got real yesterday

  VP, Executive VP, several higher up engineers escorted out of the office yesterday by security. Rumors flying that many more to follow next week. Promotion for me? Hope so.

  The company I work for was just bought out by another company, or a 'merger' as it's been spun. We've been having that happen at several locations over the past few weeks. Each week it is a different department at different places. Fun Times ahead for me and I'm a nobody there.

  This was several 35 plus year guys (including VP's) that were fired (I.e. not allowed to retire) so something went down.

  Dayum...My VP/Boss' boss, got let go and his severance package included at least a years pay and benefits. I think he had close, if not over, 20 years with the company.

  Nah, I've only been there for 7 years and just a MIS Grunt. I figure they will outsource my job and I'll get on with the outsourced company. Just like I did when I was in Security and Safety back in 2006, with the same company. I was rehired months later into the MIS Dept.
  
  Or I'll get a few months severance and get a quick job to double dip for a while. I've got some money set back just in case.
  
  Worse case scenario, I'll beg Justin to make me a Mod and I'll make Bank!!!

  I believe so Pants. Looks like it's a dirty business getting it out of the ground and running it apparently.
