My buddy and I have been working at this company for several years, and we thought everything was going great. Revenue numbers were growing every year, we had this great proprietary software, and we were media darlings.
But one day, the CEO suddenly announced that the entire company was being bought out by some company from Spain.
“What?!” I exclaimed to my friend. “This is so out of the blue! Never in a million years could I have seen this coming.”
He shook his head and looked at me sideways. “Nobody expects the Spanish Acquisition,” he sighed.
