  Company D started in 2006. But doesn't make quite as much as I was making from my j.o.b.

  Thinking this is the kick in the ass i needed to hustle and get my business making more money.

  Worked for nearly two years at DMB&B before it got bought out by Publicis.

  Went to Newell&Sorrell and six month's later it got bought out by Interbrand.

  Went to Overland Group and two years later it collapsed and was taken over by Wolverine.

  Went to BamberForsyth, found my home there, and spent six happy months as second CD before they told me, all full of excitement, that they had just sold the business to some bunch of awful fuckwits somehwere.

  That's pretty much how I ended up where I am today, but perhaps oddly, my advice would be: Fall out of love with your company (if there was any love to begin with) and stick it out there sucking wages out of them and not stressing yourself too much about work and projects. Milk it for all its worth, because jumping ship just keeps you butting up against the same situation over and over again. Maybe you can negotiate a redundancy payment if you stick around and are a spare part, but if you just leave, then you just leave.

  • I will definitely try this milk program you speak of!– Mellimelvin

  Insert Company B in slot F1.

  Also: when this happened to my company, there weren't really any good changes as a result. Did, however, have my insurance benefits lessened and my salary bonus apparently disappear. So there's that.

  Anticipation over... hammer dropped. Invoicing for this weeks work (full salary pay, awesome). Then all work will be billed hourly.

  As @calculator put it... Company D in full swing!

  • Congrats! Hope it works out.– calculator

  When they say “nothing is going to change, your jobs are safe” they really mean “everything is going to change, your jobs are gone”.

  Go to smaller company you will not get bought or sold, have more control, and end up more satisfied, I promise (as much as I can at least...).
