It is always the case that the acquired company employees will be layoff with an exception of niche people who knows the role of the operation and business aspect of the company. but in no time, these niche people are unable to blend in or climatise themselves to the new culture, and will eventually, throw in the towel. 

Have witnessed many of these sorts of acquisition or people. Of course, the employees of purchaser also show some sign of fear as sometimes, there are overlapping area of work.before any announcements are made, there will be rumours spreading like fire. Hence either you are being barbeque or sitting on the fence - to be placed back in the freezer for next run of fire or as extra food formore guests to appear.

I was surprised that the redundancy package was only 3months. i thought Australia was the worst ie 0.5months for every years of services but a capof 24months.

wishing all affected employees will get a new job soon. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶🤞🤞🤞
