M&A

My company is in the middle of an M&A. Originally, it was supposed to be an "A". Acquisition. Us buying them. Now, "us" is a small company. Really small. Minuscule really. 6 people. "Them" is about 170. So it's a little weird that a 6-person company is buying a 170-person company, right? Not only that, but we're acquiring them. Not merging with them.

But lately, the language has changed. Now we are more on the "M" side. Perhaps this makes a bit more sense given the companies' respective sizes? On the other hand, the final company, post-M&A will use the 6-person company's name. Not the other company's name.

And now we're struggling with even that. More fun to come, I'm sure.
