Oxford Blue and Fat & Retarded you seem to have forgotten what this bulletin board is called. This is a rumour – I happen to know that it is true and I do not get involved in speculation, but the only way I can prove it to be true is to ask you to wait. I’m sure that you will find out over the next few months.
I am sorry that you feel affronted to learn this news here rather than from your employer, or the company’s owners, but I’m not sure that it is realistic for them to discuss their plans with you in advance. And just because I am, by chance, better informed about this that you are is no reason to attack me.
However, I forgive you, as it is potentially worrying to hear that your employer is about to change hands – could be for the better though!
If you want confirmation, you could always ask that MD who posted on your internal forum, unless he hasn’t been told either…
