It's positively official. I am being sold, with the agency. Like a side of beef, like an unsuspecting dairy cow. I am trying to look at it as a possibly brighter future with a bigger chance of earning what I'm worth... but somehow this little voice (moo) in the back of my mind keeps telling me to be cautious. I have so many fears about being "sold" with the agency, but so many hopes.
While feeling like a piece of livestock isn't the greatest feeling in the world, with a new owner and new standards this agency may really be going somewhere. If I am good enough I will get to run the agency. If not, I may be shoved to the slaughter line and cut from the agency staff...
All this worrying is making me sick. I have to stop worrying about that I can not control. *sigh* oh for the simple, care-free days of childhood when things like deciding when to play in the pool all day or ride my pony all day were the toughest decisions to be made.
Side note:
I totally don't believe in reincarnation but if I did, I would want to come back as my parent's dog. Our dogs are so spoiled it's disgusting but they are adorable their only worries are what time they are getting fed and what time they are going out. Must be nice.

I went through two buy-outs at my old agency. It can be a bit unnerving at first...all the changes, and conversions, new policies, etc. But if you just hang in and hang on, you'll be okay...all turned out really well for us both times....and LOL after I left to move to IL - they were bought again! A third time in less than 10 years! I think they are really happy though...the new owner agency's culture and plans more closely match theirs than the last....
Unfortunately, that is the name of the game now, in the insurance and finance arena....the big fish constantly eating the small ones. Makes ya have an identity crisis after awhile...lol
I like to think on the positive side of things (I'm one of those oddly optimistic people). I think this will end up being a good thing for you. It gives you a chance to show a new set of people what a quality employee you are, and a new chance to shine. You'll be running the company in no time! Hang in there, kiddo.
