<prompt> Human: Story: I started work as an IT technician and got promoted to Network Administrator for a small office of 25 people. As of 42018, I would have worked there for 3 years, 4 months, and 20 days. Recently someone bought out the company and one of my bosses told me that I may need to consider looking for another job. We had a meeting yesterday with all the snacks you can think of and the owner tells everyone that the company that bought us will retain all of the employees, including me during her speech. Because the owner is busy 247 and never had a chance to talk to me, she asked me why I looked nice todaywore a suit on casual Friday and I told her that I wanted to look nice for the party today. She tells me that she doesnt know if I will have a job once they complete the merger. I feel that thats a fucking shitty thing to say in front of everyone that they have a job, but I am the one that gets the boot. Even the guywho is a chill dude that just started working there will be keeping his job. I understand that I might keep my job, but considering our company would be a division of a bigger company, the IT team at the main location would already be stacked with employees and having 1 IT guy at one branch is useless. It makes me feel really shitty mostly that she would say that out loud and I feel that I should address it if I do get the boot 100 percent, but I dont know.. the feeling of unemployment makes me feel like shit.Plus one of the managers said they were protective of me and others said some things about me, but I am feeling that they think Im a dumb special person from that comment.FYI- The people here at the company are horribly illiterate when it comes to technology and they wont ever follow my advice so the outlook of this whole situation is turning back on me.Questions: How should I approach this situation ? I have a 401k with them and I would plan on collecting unemployment. I dont know if they will give me severance, I just dont know. Im preparing for the worse based on the actions from the owner.  <response>: It sounds like theyre trying to scare you out the door so you forfeit unemployment and possibly severance. Shop around for a new job but keep working.
