This seemed inevitable. When corporations merge, they do so to cut costs to compete.

So the obvious cost cutting is about to happen - all those staff (BF + PP) who were ''gung-ho'' on linkedin might not feel the same way now. I tell you - this business creates more idiots per hundred than any other!

Yeah, their CEO made a cool £6m from the merger...its seems inevitable that us affiliates have to take the burden.

I think they said before the merger that it would cut jobs. Makes sense when merging.
