My dads work bought out another company. Basically double the company. To help merge everything smoothly, the owner hired a consultant…
“Just to let everyone know, I have the permission to write up and fire anyone to ensure a successful merge.” -consultant
Several people are making plans to jump ship, some in critical roles. Several people are strictly doing their job and nothing more, even if they are more than capable of doing extra. From the other side, the other company that got bought out, predictions that some will quit due to pay cut. CDL drivers, working for standard delivery drivers wages.
My dad respects the place, but there was an agreement for him to make 6 figures by years end… last year. They asked him back after declining production. He succeeded in boosting and making production efficient without sacrifice.
I just find the whole comical. I do wish the best for the crew though. Funny thing is that I have a verbal contract to occasionally service their trucks. I charge them less than half what it cost at a service center. That contract is with my dad. When he leaves, I cease the contract.
Remember, greed cost money.
