everance?

Dad is 64 and planned to work for 21 more months until 66. He is well-rated and has not had any disciplinary issues. Been at this company 6 years. Company being bought has a lot of money as does company acquiring. He is in a department that has a high likelihood of being determined redundant.

Isn't there age discrimination stuff if he is that old?

Also ljl at your dads wage cuck life.

Imagine being "rated" as a 60 something

I think age discrimination would be his best bet but I also feel like it would be harder to make a credible accusation of this when the company is being bought and there are mass layoffs. At the same time I feel like the acquiring company has a budget for making shit like this just go away quickly. But I'm not an expert in this area.

if they know he's that close to retirement they'll probably just let him ride it out. company buyouts don't get done overnight anyways so he may be ready to retire by the time they start axing people.

it's 57 year old middle managers with bloated salaries and a good number of years to retirement who get fucked over in these situations.

He’s gonna get paid to retire early. His company ought to have a change in control plan and generous severance is baked into the acquirer’s costs. Do not do any of the protected status stuff people are talking about as it will backfire. Unless he really is a tranny.

This is my take too. They will incentivize someone like him because they don't need 100 lawsuits getting filed even.

The acquiring company axes 150 people and tells them to fuck off, and 100 of them file lawsuits, costing 10x more in legal fees and exposing the company to prolonged liability and possible negative press. Is that really a good outcome?

Leave the law firm, start an LBO firm with two partners: a former banker/PE mid-level and an entrepreneur. Place an unsolicited competing (higher) bid, using the two other partners as the face of the organization. Use your dad as a source of inside information. Get the deal under LOI with a 60 day diligence period, which may be enough to kill the existing deal. While the deal is under LOI, raise one-off capital from family offices and of course line up bank debt. Execute an alternative plan of reorganization that not only keeps your father employed, but promotes him to senior management and grants him significant equity incentives. When he is ready to retire, terminate him without cause and pay a healthy severance. Then sell the company during Trump's second term into a roaring economy. Retire to join your dad in the greatest years of both of your lives.

find a PE sponsor to buy the company after using your dad's position to extract union concessions and hatching a plan to raid the overfunded pension.

After you close, market the assets and dissolve the company, lay off the workers including your dad, and access the cash in the overfunded pension.

Sometimes these scenarios lead to cushy consulting/part-time work. This is the best way to glide into retirement and avoid tapping retirement assets too quickly. Is there shit he knows that not too many other people at the company know and that will not be comprehensible or manageable for the buyer's people?

If so, now is the time to start setting up anyone around him to quit voluntarily or look like dispensable morons to the buyer and get shitcanned. Stop training underlings and tell them war stories about everyone who got fired the last time there was an acquisition. Write them glowing letters of recommendation and terrible internal reviews. Stop ccing anyone on emails involving the buyer or any members of senior management who might stay. Be the guy who knows how to fix ABC or find XYZ without looping in 12 other people.

Every company has old guys like this who coast by on "only Steve knows how to reconcile this weird specialized accounting we need for a state regulator/patch this code written in 1995/find the files that he sorted terribly." Ideally they work 4 hours per week from home but get paid for 20 because no one knows what they do and everyone is terrified to find out.
