Depends on what level are you in. If you are an IC and your contribution is only measured as part of teams success you better love your work and let it speak. Even if things change your professional acumen can help you navigate crisis.

I knew someone who was in emc, when the dell takeover came along he started another job and kept both. For the first 1.5 years after the closing most emc employees did nothing at dell. The dell managers didn’t seem prepared and never noticed. Over a year later he stopped attending dell meetings or doing anything Dell related. Eventually 9 months later, now into year 2 he was laid off and for the short run did quite well for himself.
