One merge, two merge ... and the world changed for the worst. Overnight our group changed from helpful and kind; to self promoting, unforgiving, paranoid and hostile.
The HR department lacked the ability to provide payroll on time over a long holiday.
The job offer provided benefits that were dissolved after the second merger, the second merger completed within 5 weeks of taking the position, so there was some deception on their part. Considering the 2nd merger time frame, Sr. management should have known at the time of the offer the benefits would be revoked.
