I can see the writing on the wall at my current job. I work as the admin for a complex CRM platform at a company of about 160 people, and we're in the process of being acquired by a larger competitor. Initially, I thought this could be a great opportunity, as my knowledge of our systems could be valuable during the transition. However, I recently learned that they plan to discontinue our CRM licensing and transfer its functionality to their own systems, likely using AI to facilitate the process. This means I could soon be the admin of a system that no longer exists, and with no clear communication about my future or that of my team, I feel like I might be let go without any severance. I've been with the company for 8 years, and while I hope some of the sale proceeds will go toward severance for those of us not continuing, I’m not optimistic. I’m trying to figure out if there’s any way to create leverage for negotiating severance, but I feel like I have none. I’m a straight white male under 40 with no disabilities or protected status, and I’m in an at-will state, so they could let me go without notice. I’ve considered that they might ask me to sign a non-compete or non-disparagement agreement, but I don’t have the resources to start a competing business. I’m reaching out for advice on how to establish some leverage for severance or if there’s something I might be overlooking in my situation.
