Open blinds: Dot-commer about to get dot-bombed

Internet forum Ask MetaFilter provides today's blind item. "Anonymous" asked last night:

I work for a small dot com that just was acquired by a larger dot com (one with a historically shady reputation). What are some signs that my job may not be safe, even though I've been promised it is? What are signs that we are just going to be chewed up and discarded? How will I know when it's time to rewrite the resume and get out?

So which little dot-com just got snapped up and might be dropping employees? And how long will "Anonymous" last before the boss catches them reading MetaFilter all day?

Pets, and Kozmo, and eToys oh my! [Ask MetaFilter]
