Sorry that happened to you, I have been through a few acquisitions as both a survivor and a casualty. Being a casualty is certainly no fun. However, if you only have a month of time with your organization and it gets acquired, unless you are some hotshit super hire—you are probably getting RIF’ed, no matter who the acquiring company is and no matter what promises were made to you at any point. Even getting promises in writing doesn’t really help unless they are in your employment contract and most good employment contracts will give the hiring company a legal out for just about any reason within a probationary period (which is often around 90 days). The two weeks of severance was actually pretty generous too for your time invested.
