When you work for a company for a
long time; you see it go through several changes. And when you change owners it
only gets even more worrying. At one point I had a pretty good stake in the
company and was due a decent pay-out as a shareholder. Then the company got
took over and I was offered a pretty raw deal because of the merger. After sitting
down and working through the math; I worked out that I’d be making a loss by
accepting the deal, so I decided to sell out my current stock rather than sit
down and work through all the paperwork. I did try to get back onto the scheme
once the new company decided to try to start the same thing, but their
infrastructure wasn’t set up right, so I didn’t bother. I didn’t want to be
screwed again. I could have got some independent financial advice but that
would have cost me more money.
