Two new levels of bosses waaaaaaay above my pay grade. HCHC is the money company In a related event, they'll prolly cancel this year's bonuses to pay for all this new management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far ★ Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted October 12, 2018 Had our "big" meeting. HC2 -> DBM Global -> Us. Of course, he didn't invite any of the women in the office to the meeting. Schumck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted October 12, 2018 Share #8 Posted October 12, 2018 The only time we ever had the “big meetings” was when our company was sold or filed bankruptcy. The new owners did things legal but unethical in my opinion. They bought the company, bought all kinds of new equipment that we didn’t need and then declared bankruptcy. In the big meeting they assured everyone that we were not in any danger of losing our jobs. This was just to unload a bunch of debt. Then our paychecks bounced. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted October 12, 2018 Share #9 Posted October 12, 2018 My company was owned directly by an investment group who bought us in 2012. This year we were sold to another company that said investment group owns. Our name will change ? let the fun begin. I handle the stuffs associated with three accreditation bodies for a number of safety valves. Oh joy will this be fun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, they are only getting rid of two guys the CEO & the BD guy of our current umbrella company. The CEO is the guy who holds our contractor license in GA. He wasn't with our little company to begin with. No succession / hit-by-bus plan. IDK WTF the guy in the corner office thinks about all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a new safety boss & a different reporting structure. Boss has implemented several good things. I haven’t gotten a raise in the intervening years, so that sucks. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
