I am so sorry you are going through this. It is absolutely gut-wrenching to be blindsided after six years of loyalty. The way they are handling this—cutting access immediately without any warning—is cold and honestly feels like a cowardly move to keep the process quiet before the acquisition closes. Please take care of yourself right now; your worth is not defined by a calendar invite from an HR department that clearly lacks empathy. You have experience, and you will land on your feet elsewhere.
This is exactly why loyalty to a corporation is a myth. Kellanova has clearly been preparing for this transition by sacrificing its people to make the books look better for the new owners. It is infuriating to hear that even managers were left in the dark, which confirms this was a top-down, ruthless numbers game. For those of us still here, the trust is officially gone. Keep your resume polished and your options open, because clearly, nobody is safe regardless of their performance history.
