For the layman, acquisition rumours are almost always bad news.

Even as a premise. Your domain is enough of a concern for Bigcorp to spend executive time on. Bigcorp wants to acquire your employer because and they think they can get more value out of it than the asking price.

Your own executives will ignore the threat that due diligence means to your business in the case a deal fails to be completed, because this is their promotion cycle. But you are a potentially redundant cog that is unlikely to be a more efficient part at Bigcorp. After all, you don’t already work for them.
