If you're so important then they should be offering you $$$ that you would have to be crazy to refuse. If they're not, then something is up. And quite frankly it's bullshit to put that kind of pressure on someone who is not actually driving the deal. I dunno, my spidey-senses are tingling.

Yes, it's definitely not easy to live, all the more as you don't have all the insights and aren't sure to know/understand everything at stake.

If you're necessary to the deal going through, then you should have been consulted when that first came to light.

I suspect that if you are part of the deal, if you wanted to work for the acquiring company, you could have already gotten a job there long ago. Clearly they were not your first choice of places to work. The terms that are being offered don't change that, and perhaps no terms can.

That's o.k.
