well, it's official...
Our company is in the process of being acquired by another company. The merger transition will be July 1, and orientation meetings have already begun.
The good news is that I will still have a job. The bad news is that the new company has no sabbatical leave benefit.
This continues the annoying trend of my never receiving the rewards of long tenure with a single company. Just before I reached 5 years with our first parent company, which would have entitled me to a week of extra vacation and a bonus, we were acquired by our current parent. As a result, I got nothing—no tenure bonus program, and the extra week of vacation doesn't come until 8 years.
Then, with the current company, I finally discover the ill-publicized paid sabbatical leave option, available every 5 years, and it is denied.
Now, with the new company, still no extra week of vacation, still no tenure bonus, and now no sabbatical either.
Mergers suck.
I am so looking for a new job, so if you know of any good leads, let me know. I can do pretty much anything in the technology sector, and I'm a fair hand at photography, design and music as well.
