So, we (Orange NL) are not officially meant to be sold to Deutsche Telekom yet (T-Mobile),

but I came in this morning to see that all our orange reception furniture has been replaced by white furniture, TV lights and cameras set up at various meeting rooms, and as the day has gone on furniture and fittings are slowly changing.

They've also announced a goodbye drink from our CEO and placed a bar in front of the exit (one good thing).

Incredible. Still no announcement that we've been sold, yet it feels as though ze Germans are rolling their tanks across the border. Fuckers.
