Comments

Often in these situations the buying company will still put some money in for employee retention bonuses. So employees may not get a huge windfall up front, but they often get at least something, spread out over a year or two.

True. Or they'll do a carveout for management/founders. But if team members see that there's nothing there post-acquisition, the resumes start flying.
