After months of speculation of a CNET takeover, finally they got bought over by CBS Corp. and so is it time to PANIC like a typical staff in all other M&As?
function doNOTpanic() { return array( sedatives, call_editor);
Eh… I must have forgotten all my programming syntax since my first and last job as a web developer in Lucent Technologies back in the 90s!
Well come to think of it, almost every company I’ve got involved financially with gets thrown into a M&A talk within 6 months of my joining. Even Lucent.
Is it the company or is it me?
Anyways, I think my CNET gigue is safe for now coz my cheque just arrived last week and my editor hasn’t pinged me yet.
for (n=1; n>1; n++)
{
doNOTpanic();
}
(desperately trying to remember how to program from Kuala Lumpur now - since I might seriously have to go back to a developer job after I get the wooden handshake from CNET)
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();
doNOTpanic();

Like any other company that got bought over, the morale is the most important.
Have to ensure that everything is transparent to the employees that the management is doing whatever it is for everyone.
