I hear you.
Got hired by Dynamix not long after it got acquired by Sierra Entertainment (previously Sierra On-Line). Then Sierra got bought by CUC International, and then sold to Cendant Corporation, and then again sold to Havas Interactive all in the span of about 2 years. In 1999 Sierra completely fell apart due to multiple restructurings every time a new owner got a hold of them. I jumped ship a few months before Dynamix Studio was shut down. The whole two years I worked there was very turbulent at the corporate level and all the employees felt it.
Speaking of EA Tiburon, I worked with Graeme Bayless on Red Baron II at Dynamix. He ended up working for EA Tiburon at some point after Dynamix shut down.
