500 lb gorilla

So there was talk that my company was going to be sold. I think I mentioned this awhile back. Not only is it very nerve-wracking to have your company sold, the owners daughters were very good friends of mine and they were going to be leaving.

I was out sick yesterday. I come in today and my friends' ofices are cleaned out and we have new ownership. The worst part.. no one is talking about it. I asked another coworker if anything was said yesterday and he said no. Umm hello.. anyone want to say something about this? Our salesforce and my boss are in closed door meetings downstairs. I am really p!ssed that we all have to sit here with our thumbs up our a$$es trying to stay productive when we don't have the slightest idea what the heck is going on. It's infuriating.

  • Wow.  In one day.  And no one is saying anything. No memo or anything?

    Very frustrating and scary.  So what are you supposed to do?  Business as usual?  But how?

    GL, Gerrie!!!

  • Ugh I know how you feel. We go through this every 5-6 months here. Its horrible. Hang in there!
  • um yeah, that's how my last job worked every single day.  And then you'd get in trouble if you talked about it like just asking a question about where they were!  It was ridiculous!  And you'd get in trouble for talking about "rumors" when a simple memo just saying what happened would suffice.

  • That is insane, I am sorry you are going through this hopefully they let you know soon what is going on
  • My company did something similar with getting rid of someone...they didn't notify the clients or professionals we deal with.  It's sooo unprofessionals.  I have made it known that it isn't right!  Especially with your staff you need to address the issues!!!!!!
  • Sorry this happening Gerrie, I really hope that they are just preparing on what to say to you guys. That really does frustrate the employees and I bet no one is really willing to do their job right now. It's like a state of panic.

    We pph you!!!!!!!!! :::::HUGS!!!!!:::::

  • I am just trying to find a press release because obviously that's how I am supposed to know about what's going on.
  • Wow, that's really crappy.  How could they not say anything before it all went down?  Ugh.  I hope they have a meeting or something to update all of you.
  • Wowza, Gerrie. I'm so sorry. I hope you get some answers soon.
  • That's crazy. Unfortunately I've been on the other side of the table and it doesn't feel good to have to hide info like that. Most of the time it has to be quiet for legal reasons until everything is final. I hope it works out for you.....

    I know that this is the case and I have to respect the privacy but it's just so hard! Thanks for this perspective I know this is a tough time for everyone. I am just feeling a little too self absorbed right now and I want to know how it effects me... sometimes things are bigger than just little ole me. I need to put that in check.

  • And just try to stay positive. I know its hard but stressing about it won't help. Just putting those happy thoughts out there will help.
