I wish Boeing had done that when they bought McDonnell Douglas.
As someone who works in acquisitions, I wouldn’t say that, at least in my experience, a buyer usually fires all of the seller’s employees. Sometimes, yes. And sometimes there are those who don’t come across with an acquisition, but again, at least in my experience, we try to bring over anyone who wants to join.

Yep blackmail oooh spicy
Strikes me more as bribery.
Exactly the way I didn't want this to go.
Trump is out of his league.
He's facing a multinational conglomerate with an army of lawyers at its disposal. The cr*p he can pull against individuals isn't going to fly with Paramount Global.
on the Executive side of things, bribery doesn't exist anymore. its as ephemeral as the contrail off a "free" Qatari plane.
Considering how quickly other media institutions capitulate to his demands, I wouldn't be to sure about anything right now.
If they didn't behave in an unscrupulous manner, they wouldn't be getting sued for viable things. Lol. It's not blackmail or bribery. It's literally settling a court case that is going to produce money through suing them one way or another.
Oh please it Trump being a vindictive baby because CBS News/60 minutes didn't kiss his ass prior to the Election.
The 'edited' Kamala interview that started his tantrum was the same kind of 'editing' that FOX news did for Trump's own pre-election interviews.
No sense crying over spilled mergers.
First, editing an interview is nothing new.
Second, even if it wasn’t, a $20bn lawsuit on this issue is fucking ludicrous. And don’t act for a moment like it’s not.
Back in the mid nineties when I was attending Community College, one of my instructors recommended me for a presentation video they were putting together showcasing the school.
A brief thirty, maybe sixty, second talking head appearance took an hour of filming.
First there was the "two shot" - both heads in the frame with the interviewer asking the question and me responding.
Then, they focused the camera on the interviewer, with the camera over my right shoulder, and she asked the questions again.
Finally, they turned the camera on me and she asked the questions and I responded.
And the director would periodically interrupt and coach us on our questions and responses and remind us about what we said and our inflections.
tRump should know all of this.
