Echoing other comments, your company was acquired. The way you're used to doing things sounds like it's quite different from how the new owners do things.
I can't make any sort of judgment call on which is or isn't "better" based on a brief HN post, but I think it's worth keeping in mind that it pays to be adaptable and to scout out the post-acquisition lay of the land before you let it affect you too much.
You don't want to create an impression of being a "difficult" employee "left over" from the acquired company, as unjust or unfair as that may seem.
- wombatpm 5y agoIf you were just acquihired and no one high up in the BIGCOMPANY is taking an active interest in you. LEAVE. You are cannon fodder. The sooner you realize that the better off you will be. If you are contractually tied to the job, plan your exit NOW and leave the first day you can. Look around and see where your former leaders are now? Are they gone or in positions of power? If no BIGCORP employees are reporting to them then you know the writing is on the wall. Leave.
