Man. I feel bad for the employees. They probably thought getting bought by a big company like Ford meant they would stick around for a while.

Getting bought by a big company rarely means that the acquired employees are going to stick around for awhile.

Not necessarily true. A lot of acquisitions are 'acquihires' meaning they were bought just for their talent capital.

Acquihiring doesn't necessarily involve keeping everyone from the acquired company.

Nor does it mean keeping the company itself.
