John MoltzInstead of saying "We're excited to announce we've been acquired!" I wish companies would just say they're sorry.
jsj@Moltz @lisamelton “We’ve been acquired” translates to “we sold out” and/or “we cashed in” every single time.
Jim Nielsen@jsj @Moltz @lisamelton lol honestly i have no problem with "selling out” when folks are frank about it, e.g. “Hey folks, just letting you know, we decided to take the money. Thanks for helping us get here.”
@jimniels @jsj @lisamelton Yep. I'd sell! I just hate those emails that so usually precede the product turning to shit. In this case, it seems like that will take a while at the least so that's good.
