I doubt anyone ever expects to work somewhere with perfect dictators, although, of course, one can always dream. :-)

My email address is: travelingalmax@aol.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!

Not all roses at DR. Depends on hospital
and depends on supervisor, coworkers, etc. Its a shame, but I had a very bad experience with them. I know the feeling though - they sounded awesome! I was so psyched...and ended up being very disappointed. As for details, I was very unhappy with my supervisor(s), and definitely had the bait and switch pulled on me once I was out of training period. Huge problem with cherry-picking, and very unstable platform. No one to communicate with, etc.

Smelling the coffee and not the roses.
Many of us have traversed the slippery slope of mergers and none of them worked well for most. Having any feelings of guilt is ridiculous. This is not your fault. Your company sold out, took the money, banked it and gave you a cute little thanks for a job well done, if that. Transcend may or may not prove to be a good fit. I know so many who have found that not to be so with rigid policies and the overall feeling that you can be replaced in a minute. My advice is to keep you eyes and ears open and to decide for yourself based on the way you are treated and your work load and whether or not YOU decide this is a good fit. We can still determine our own destinies but we have to step up and quietly take control of it alone and without much fanfare. Further to that you best learn what is going on in the industry and prepare for more technical changes and an increase in templating or VR. Learn all you can so that you approach a new employer with solid skills. Many smaller companies have not prepared for this and do not have the cash or the heart to move it forward and thus you are now swimming with the sharks. Take a deep breath and market yourself just like the suits do. Good luck with it as luck is also part of the mix.
