If You Really Loved Me You'd Let Me Eat Your Brain

It looks like The Reverend's employer is being acquired by a Fortune 500 company for $175 million in cash.  With 820 employees that makes me worth $210,336.54.  I've been reduced to a number.  How dare they!?  On second thought I really have no problem with that.  But I would like more of that $210,336.54 to come my way, because I sure as hell don't earn that much.  Looks like time to ask for a raise.

They say nothing will change with regards to the culture or management already in place here, but don't they always?

Too bad I'm not working for a bloated relic of the manufacturing age, because I could probably squeeze $140,000 out of them to get me to quit.  I love it when employers pay people to go away.  Nothing says sound fiscal management like paying your employees to leave because you've promised them too much and pissed away all your money building things people don't want.  Creative destruction rocks.
