@musicman There are both pluses and minuses to acquisitions, but there does seem to be a size at which any organization becomes anti-people, including anti-employee. I’ve also noticed that not every sub-organization reaches that point at the same time or goes the same distance down that road as the rest of the (parent) organization.

Not saying that # is or is not pro-people (or anti-people). Just a general observation.

(I do groan inwardly when I hear people saying they want to leave private industry because they perceive # as being more warm and fuzzy. They aren’t.)
