Wisdom - On the Job 88

SUMMARY: No summary available
I’ve learned this year that when one company buys another one out, your fate can be decided by how you handle the transition. My best advice to anyone going through a merger/acquisition on the side being bought is that whenever you get the chance to meet the people buying you out, ALWAYS be positive and put your best foot forward. Offer help in all areas, even those outside your comfort zone. Instead of taking the purchase personally, take it as an opportunity to show the new company just what a fabulous asset you’ll be to their company. This is what will help you land on your feet — whether you stay with the new company or not. You just never know who someone else might know or how they might respond. THINKING POSITIVE WORKS! :-)
