If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

O.K., so now work is weird. I usually post industry stuff about other companies, but this is internal strife but then again, it's non-strife because it's officially over. So company A decides it may be advantageous to buy, err "merge" with company B. Expanded member base, ATM network, higher capital ratio, etc, etc, etc. Work ensues. Decisions are made. Work stops. Decisions are made. And then we all, as in the royal "we" my building, the operations center and the "mothership", aka headquarters, get a catered hot dog lunch from Pinks and dessert from Pinkberry. Is it a kiss off? Is it a last supper- type meal? Is it a tie-in for an upcoming charity walk? Or is it the simple gesture that we are appreciated as people but not good enough as a company on the balance sheet to be a viable business opportunity?I hope its the latter.
