Well, no trip to France on the company dime, seemingly. Otherwise...
Being bought by GE or ITT wouldn't be so bad. I can't think a company like that would lay off trained operators--managers, yes, but not people who do actual work. Plus, their stock is worth something and you'd get a chance to buy it at a discount if you wanted. (ITT is a PTC customer, and not bad to deal with from that perspective, if that's any comfort.)And both companies know their posteriors from their elbows when it comes to actually Making Things--always a plus, to me.
Getting bought by another big holding company would not be so good.
I hope this just means some uncertainty for you, not big, unpleasant changes.

It is really is some uncertainty. Since we are the biggest company in our field, it either some big company or holding company (none of us here wants a holding company to buy us). Just something I did not expect because we are a profitable company in good standing.

You still here? Or there?
Things are good here, as you probably know. We'd all like to know what's up with you, though.
