They announced this morning that my employer got bought out by another company. They offered a lot of talk about "integration" and "harmonization" but most of the coworkers I know to have any business sense have basically said, "guess I'll be out of a job soon."
Given the timelines they provided, I've got at least five months before they even *look* at my position, so I've got a decent runway for job hunting. And my wife and I crunched some numbers, and if we make a few cutbacks and don't run into any major expenses, we can almost live off her income alone, so I'm not overly concerned about our finances. LOTS of coworkers in much more precarious positions than mine to be sure!
