What do we mean by mergers?

(n.) 1. A transaction in which one corporate entity is combined with another corporate entity. A variety of types of transactions are possible, the most common being the "triangular" merger whereby one corporation ("Buyer") creates a subsidiary ("Merger Sub") into which the other corporation ("Target") is combined, thereby creating a single corporation. A wave of mergers occurred in the 1980s due to the loosening of regulations by the Reagan administration. A similar boom occurred in the late 1990s, and, thus far, a wave of mergers in 2005 suggests that it will be another huge year of corporate combinations. Mergers create corporations with annoying, nonsensical names like "AOL Time Warner," and "JPMorganChase" and "PriceWaterHouseCoopers." Frequently, corporations fail to realize any additional profit from these transactions, despite many workers losing their jobs due to the supposed "efficiencies" created. 2. A transaction performed by the cockiest, least self-aware, obnoxious assholes in the worlds of investment banking and law. The area of expertise in which one performs mergers is known as "Mergers and Acquisitions" or "M&A." Urban Dictionary

(n.) - This word means nothing. Urban Dictionary

When one company merges with the other to jack it up. Urban Dictionary

From a company merger, a disease known as “merger fatigue” occurs when an employee (which epidemic quickly spreads to others) of the “mergered” company will lose their job at some unscheduled yet certain time in the near future causing disorientation with this lengthy process. As the Trojan horse is rolled in, sharks circle the dead carcass limp in the deep waters of the corporate world for a feeding frenzy; weariness of an employee due to the diminution and irritability of the fact that one’s once prominent work has been diminished to the repetitive conditions of detailing so other’s may receive credit and take over that work. Sometimes companies move too slowly because of “merger fatigue”, where employees tire of the rigors of concentrated focus and continuous effort. That, in turn, slows movement and progress, and what should take one or two months to accomplish ends up taking a year. Urban Dictionary
