Companies Good or Bad?

Companies good or bad, why ask the question?
Having been involved, in a takeover in the last year or so it seems that there are oddities in the way things happen in a company.
It could just be the way that things are done here in the U.K.
The takeover itself was rather strange, lots of secrecy, visits from so called insurance men, no consultation from either side, none of us were asked if we wanted to work for the new guys, take over date pushed back a couple of times, along with the rest of the team, I walked in on handover day not knowing what to expect, and who my new boss would be or any of the new company procedures.
On a Friday at 5.00pm I was handed a list of suppliers ,no account code or contact details and expected to produce meals for our guests. Just for clarity we are talking about an hotel here folks.

So what was expected by us the staff?
Basically a more structured approach to business, clear lines of communication, and efficiency ,did this happen no!
Recently the manager was criticised by his boss for selling too cheaply, so what happens next, accommodation being
Sold at £12.50 per person per night for b+b surely this contradictory?
