Dear Mayank,
My company has been taken over and while we have been told our jobs are safe, there are hints now that this may not be true.
I have been with this company for only a year and I am worried that our track record -- mine is good as per past reviews -- does not matter.
The culture of the two companies is also very different.
Our bosses have been changed, some of us have been asked to move to another city or to a far suburb.
The new bosses seem to be favouring their own employees over us.
Given the condition of the job market, how do I ensure I retain my job?
Thanks.

Hi AD.
Let me start by stating two realities of a corporate job.
1. Mergers and acquisitions are a reality and consolidation of business will happen all the time.
2. No company can assure you for a permanent job.
In this situation, my advice to you will be to give your best in the current job and have an open discussion with your management.
Meanwhile, be open to external job opportunities
