my culture is not a costume

Really? The sales people at my company are always the most stylish dressers. This looks like a software engineer costume to me.
it depends (I do B2B enterprise software). the older guys know how to dress. the younger guys all look like tech bros. Sales engineering tends to keep the techbro look a lot longer.
none of the developers look like that. product managers, yes; engineers no.
my “I do not have brain damage” linkedin headline has people asking a lot of questions that are answered by the headline

why do people react to linkedin spam like this? imagine working up this level of righteous indignation every time you got email spam.

Just got a company wide email pretty much out of the blue saying our company has been acquired “with immediate effect” by a company I’ve never heard of. " a change of this significance will bring some uncertainty but we will keep you informed of any plans that affect you as soon as possible"
How fucked am I? CV time?
Are you drinking buddies with your company’s Lumbergh?

The way that’s worded…. Yikes. I’d be applying immediately unless you think you can get a nice severance.
Your CV should always be ready to go, but in this case I wouldn’t panic too much. Start by figuring out who this new company is and how much overlap they have with whatever you do in particular. Also, how directly your work is tied to revenue will matter a lot when they start looking for “synergies”.

It’s a small company and I’m one of the three or so people who know how any of it works. Not that that will necessarily matter obv.
What is it that your company does well that they might be acquiring? Do you have valuable IP, a product they want to incorporate into their product line, just super smart people? Tough to say without knowing what you do but yea probably CV time
Probably just our client list tbh.
