A bit stressful.

The company I work for is running out of money and I think it's likely we're going to get split and sold off. I think I'll have a job, but I've got no clue what the future is for all the people I've hired and work with. I also expect it's unlikely I'll enjoy the next company as much as this one.

All I can do is wait and see what happens, and that sucks. I'm not high enough to be involved in any of it (unless somebody has questions about what we actually do).

I'm in pretty much the same boat. It's a US-based company and they don't want to keep the UK subsidiary through which I'm working, but my boss convinced them to keep me on as a 1099 employee. So far I haven't had much of a chance to meet the new bosses or talk turkey, but at least I know someone else who works there already, and they went to bat for me as well. Good to be appreciated at least. Good luck to both of us, it'd be nice to have a little more certainty and stability.
