Our company owned by Lebanese has just been sold to a South African company.Most of us have been in the company services for 5 to 7 years. The new management assures us in the last meeting with our staff representatives that our jobs is safe. Formal takeover under the new owner is this month. Should we be paid off first or continue with our number of years with the new management. The owner during the meeeting never mention anything like payoff.They only said everyone should continue with their jobs. People with experience about changing of management should please advise.
