I work at a public tech company that operates entirely remotely, and we've recently received news that we are likely going to be acquired by another public tech company that primarily operates in-office. I'm really concerned about the possibility of layoffs during this transition, especially since I don't live in a major hub like San Francisco or New York City, which could limit my options if they implement a return-to-office policy. I'm trying to understand how the acquisition process typically works and what my timeline might look like. I'm also considering what steps I can take to make myself indispensable during this transition. I do have some colleagues at the acquiring company in my field, and I'm thinking about reaching out to them to explore potential opportunities within their team. While I know the common advice is to start job hunting, I'm feeling really drained by the whole situation. If I do end up getting laid off, I think I would need some time to focus on my mental and physical health before diving back into the job market. The thought of going through the hiring process again feels overwhelming right now.
