The company I work for was acquired during the height of Covid. We had an all-hands meeting with the entire company with a 1-hour notice on a Monday. I knew something was up and wasn't that surprised. The new company made sweeping cuts and I for sure thought I was out of a job. Luckily, the IT team on both sides is small and I got to keep my job (3 years now). It also helped that upper management of the new company made really terrible IT decisions (the director was fired about a year after the acquisition). We were supposed to convert our proprietary systems (that I maintain) to Net suite. The plan was terrible and crashed and burned. They tried again last year, and we were successful.
