Continuation of buy-out saga. - I was hired less than a month ago

Posted: Nov 22, 2011

by one of the bought out companies. Why would they do this? I refuse to work for the Q, as I was raped and robbed by them before, even getting a"settlement" from the lawsuit (money they had apparently been stealing out of my pay). Why would any place hire you knowing a buy out was immenent (sp?) and not realize that there are some of us who would rather starve than work for Q again? Now I am getting all kinds of happy "Welcome to MQ" emails and it is turning my stomach!

You seem to be operating under the illusion that your employer "cares" about you.

It's a nice thought but it's not true. Employers these days don't give a hoot about you as a person, your family responsibilities, etc. You are just a commodity -- a "human resource" -- there to produce. Your production is money in their pocket.

Why would they sell? To earn a profit, of course.

Yep... I keep getting the same thing. My supervisor had the nerve to tell me I had to work Thanksgiving day. HA!!! Ya think?? I said, since your owner sold his company NOT ME, I don't have to do anything I don't want to do and I WILL NOT WORK FOR MQ... No thank you very much but I will NOT be working anymore.

Although I don't want to work for MQ either, I have to be practical, and I am going to stay put until I find another job. The reason I am posting is because there was a 2nd conference call today and one of the MTs that had just been hired had just left Q after six years. She was told by the Q HR person she would not have any seniority. She must have been really upset but remained poised and calm. I just wanted to tell her how envious I was (and am) of her self control. I would have become totally unglued right then and there. So if that person happens to read this post, I really admire the way you conducted yourself today.

When my MTSO bought out, we all went to Q with the seniority - we had at the bought out MTSO.

Self controlled isn't always the best route. - Reader

What a nice post, and I'm glad that you admire someone's "self control."

We are TOO self-controlled and do TOO tongue biting in this society IMO. Instead of expressing themselves freely, everything is STIFLED. We hold it all in and then complain about it later to anyone who will listen: family, friends, coworkers, readers on message boards, therapists.

Somehow this pro-corporate attitude got translated into "professionalism." One can still express one's opinion and feelings and remain professional while doing it. Instead we have all become pro-corporate.

Here's why. - anon of course

Companies who know FULL WELL that they are about to SELL THEIR SOULS to the squid... They go on HIRING SPREES just before the sale is signed, sealed and delivered.

And you ask why?

Because they KNOW that they are signing a contract that they have XX number of employees, and once the word leaks out that they have sold, XX percent of their long-term employees will QUIT ON THE SPOT. If they don't go on a hiring spree, they will not meet their contractual obligation for the terms of the sale. They did NOT hire you because they signed a new account.

Yes, Virginia, they lied. There is no Santa Claus.

That is not true. - Analyst

The selling company doesn't care what happens AFTER the sale. If a bunch of employees quit, that's the buyer's problem.

In purchases like this, the contracts are strictly concerned with the transfer of ASSETS. The ASSETS are the ACCOUNTS.

Employees on the payroll are NOT an ASSET.

Here we goooooo! Yesterday another meeting with the HIM manager and CEO quality at our hospital who has recently signed a contract to outsource MTs to M*Modal. Well, my only interest in the meeting was to find out from HR my options regarding severance, unemployment, etc. Clearly the managers in attendance are in the honeymoon phase with M*Modal and even had the gall to say she went to a site (forgive me for not remembering) and found M*Modal had 3.8 employee satisfaction with ...
