David, back in the 1980 we had a big oil bust much like 2015. Many companies were buying each other and consolidating and fire sale prices. The few companies that saved the huge profits they had been making were buying the over extended and failing companies. A friend of mine was at a small oil exploration company. The company he worked for was purchased and he got to keep his same job but had a different logo on his paycheck. That company was purchased and it just kept happening. He had a great t-shirt that said I work for: and the names of 6 companies were crossed out and the last one was Devon. He managed to survive through it all and ended up at a top level company. We was very lucky and I guess he must have been really good at his job.
In all those company changes they liked the office he was in and they just changed the sign out front and he never had to changes desks. He retired just as Devon was ready to move everyone into the new 52 story Devon tower and consolidate the operations.
Maybe you will get lucky as well.
