I think I'm starting to understand the business model of my employer, and it's hilarious, because I've never seen it before:
1. Find a company in a similar business to ours that's failing for a non-financial reason such as demoralised employees.
2. Buy the company on the cheap.
3. Shut down the company and take over the customers and any employees who are still productive.
4. Profit.
My employer has no sales department. It just eats other companies.
