The Completely Pointless Thread II

I wouldn't consider that sneakiness I look at it as due diligence, trust is earned not just given, the new owners have alot of skin in the game so they need to protect themselves as much as possible. They don't know yet who is a good worker who sucks all they have to go by is numbers and the businesses success on paper.
I recently had been considering acquiring someone elses business and it was very important the owner did not say anything to the staff that he was considering to sell because I wanted to see how the staff truly behaved and I learned alot and why not to buy that business with what i saw.

That's different than what Trudi described. Once you they knew they wanted the business there should have been no secrecy after that.

I do know they haven't been into the shop when it is open. Boss assures us (staff) we are very much wanted. I told Julie I'm not prepared to carry them and neither is she- we are not paid enough to teach.

David has been more open since he has told us and his wife came in and apologized for all the cloak and dagger. I again told her I felt very much like a package deal. Anyway, I reminded them to take me off the security as a key holder, which they hadn't thought about. I also said I would hand my key in and told Julie to do the same, then there can be no repercussions. Julie said her old boss's wife was always accusing the staff of stealing (it turned out to be their daughter).

I jokingly said to Julie we should use Pirate speak when the new owners start (they are moving from a Naval port) and she suggested Pig Latin............anyone know it?
