I am not trying to comment on anything else here, but this: >>Minimum< 40 hour work week. 100% office work. Those are the norm for most fulltime people in most jobs. You know that, right? Right?

Toxic to me is joining a company under certain terms of employment only for some billionaire to come in and drastically change those working conditions for the worse. I frankly don't give a shit if others have it worse, there's always others that have it worse which is why I didn't take a job at somewhere worse.

  Thank you for a moment of unintended candor at least. To this I say: Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die. Call it "toxic" if you wish, I find this whole thing hilarious. Especially this reply.

  yeah i think that's a perfectly reasonable view to have. If the job changes to something other than what you signed up for and you're unhappy then I feel like you have an obligation to yourself to find something else.

  You are basically describing every single takeover. When a company changes ownership it is unusual if there isn't a drastic shake up of things including working conditions. I don't understand why this one is a such a big deal other than the employees are throwing a temper tantrum. This type of thing is happening all the time all across the country yet people are discussing it like this is some new huge thing. If as an employee you do not like the shake up, you always have the right to seek work other places. If you are indispensable (lottery/bus test) you may have some negotiating power but most of the time when up against a big corporation you are just SOL.

    Every takeover? That's funny because when my employer was bought by a bigger company they increased benefits to ensure that they wouldn't lose their best employees.
