Just wanted to rant. My company (tech company) was recently bought out by a bigger company looking to transition into the tech space.
Since being bought out, the president of the company has made constant remarks that our developers are paid too much, and that their developers they have from Ukraine and over seas get paid a lot less. He has also made jokes multiple times how he is going to replace us.
Even during a lunch I had with him, my old boss, and another developer, he made a joke about how he was going to crank up the pressure on us, and if we don't do above his expectation he will replace us as there are other struggling tech companies that his company can just buy.
We haven't even officially started under this new company yet, as I'm still getting paid under our old one.
Companies and upper management really just don't care. At the same time that he is constantly making all of these threats, which only started after our lawyers signed the paperwork for the acquisition, he makes comments about how we are family. I dont know how I am suppose to stay encouraged to work. And because I'm in tech its hard to find a decent paying job at a company which isn't going through a hiring freeze.
