In a nutshell, I find the article to be whining about how private equity management makes them work harder. Tho it should be an interesting topic of discussion for the Profit Center ping list.

It bothers me that there is never a second offer for any of these companies being taken over via stock buyouts or so-called private equity financing. Is every single diamond in the rough being scrutinized by exactly one bidder?

Generally, a private acquisition is much better for employees than a merger of two public companies. First, the timeframe of private investors is much longer than the "next quarter" mentality of WS analysts. Second, private equity is usually content to leave management in place, doing restructuring only after they have had a chance to study operations thoroughly.
Working for a profitable company is much more secure than working for an unprofitable one.
