<p>My rule of thumb is if you “feel” like something negative is happening or going to happen it probably is. Hopefully your H is looking. Are you employed? If so, then he might be able to wait it out. Things have a way of equalizing after about a year after the actual merger occurs. Mergers are the worst for crazy politics and lots of angst. Generally you can’t even count on your manager or team mates or anyone because they are also going crazy and filled with angst. Mergers or acquisitions are not for the faint of heart. I’ve lived through three or four of them in my career and ended up OK but I hope never to go through one again.</p>
