You never hear "Aw man, the new owners are awesome! Everything's so much better now!", it's always a downgrade, usually a significant one. It's never about improvement and always about cutting costs and leaving the buyee company to die.

My tech company got bought out by an incredibly inept company; I was able to fly under the radar for 2 years and continue fake working, whilst finding another job and working there at the same time. Collected 2 paychecks for 2 years and paid off a bunch of stuff.

That’s incredible. I’ve always fantasized about doing something like this. For some reason I always figured one job would learn about the other through some sort of back channel. Could just be me being paranoid though.
