The company I work for was recently acquired. We've just gotten the list of benefits the new company provides, and it's markedly worse than what we had, for more money per month.
Clearly, the obvious option is to start jobhunting.
However, until I find something else appropriate, what do I do? I feel a profound sense of betrayal by the current remaning management, the past owners who cashed out, and the new corporate overlords. It was no secret that acquisition was the goal, but we got told over and over again that the vetting process was considered and thoughtful, to make sure that our company was merging with a partner who shared common corporate cultures.
As an engineer, I feel like I have very little recourse other than to vote with my feet, but I want there to be repercussions for us being treated like this.
How do I go about daily tasks when I keep asking myself "why bother?"
