You never hear “Aw man, the new owners are awesome! Everything’s so much better now!”, it’s always a downgrade, usually a significant one. It’s never about improvement and always about cutting costs and leaving the buyee company to die.

    The tech company I worked at got bought up by a bigger and fancier company. We were promised the stars and the moon but none of it materialised and all we got was increased bureaucracy and being integrated into a cringe, self-important and slightly cultic corporate culture.

    I’m happy I left that place.
