At this point, if you find out you're getting or have gotten bought out, you should immediately just update your resume and start looking.

Although I agree, it is also nice to stick around and see what severance is offered as well. I've had friends who got paid out and were able to find a new job within a month of being let go and we're able to pocket the extra money as a bonus. I get that it's not always the case, and who knows if you will be so lucky to even find a job.
