Thanks, but no thanks

When asked to join NewCo, the new, unnamed joint venture of OMX and TE, I declined. Maybe I should have informed my immediate manager a couple of days ahead to spare her the surprise. I don’t think she was permanetly injured by the shock. What will happen now? Apparenly HR hadn’t expected anyone to decline, since it took almost two weeks for them to decide. An information meeting was scheduled, and rescheduled and again and again, but probably will take place tomorow. Then I’ll finally will know what will happen.
