So about 3 pm today my boss, David, who's the President of the company, calls everyone together in the breakroom and announces that we've been acquired. Or we will be. Effective sometime this month. Not sure when. By a company named Circor.

There will be some admin changes. Probably some benefit changes. No downsizing, no personnel shakeup, at least for the moment. If profits take a downturn, that's not guaranteed to last, though.

The Vice President of the group we'll be in is coming on Thursday to meet with us in groups about the whole HR aspect of it. Of course this means the place needs to be cleaned up.

The details will be filled in in the next few days and weeks, but that's about all I know now.

On the whole I have to admit that this sounds rather positive for the company. At least, that's how David was spinning it, but I really have no reason to distrust his judgement in this.

But I hate change. I hate the not knowing.

I hate change. Even though I had rumors about this happening a couple of days in advance.

I have this big knot inside my stomach and no matter how much I tell myself to calm down, it's not going away.

I hate change.
