Meh, I live in Chicago and like it. Sure, "taxes," the outdoor adventure scene sucks (unless you are into boating), but it's easy and relatively cheap to get practically anywhere in the world via Ord/Midway, it has great culture/nightlife and summers are a blast. Partially depends on where you are able to reside (traffic/commuting can be a nightmare), but if you can set it up right so you can take advantage of what city has to offer and get out of dodge on a regular basis, it's a pretty good life.

Shit on that. Just far enough from the City that you'll never actually be able to take advantage of what it has to offer. But, LF does have a ginormous glut of mansions on the market presently, so if you fancy the opportunity to live amongst Chicago's self-important WASP aristocracy whilst living in a heavily discounted 10,000 sqft compound, there's that.
(Really, LF isn't bad; just relatively far from the city and completely homogeneous. Given the option, I'd chose a different north shore burb, but that's me.)

Maybe you could rent a room above this fine establishment.

I strongly advise against the suburbs directly east of Chicago. It's very wet there.

I wish this would happen to my company. I could go for a severance package right about now.
Look on the bright side - maybe Chicago will suck less than where you are now?
That being said - Chicago sucks.
YMMV.

If you get the boot (I hope this only happens if you want it to), perhaps paint your firer’s chair red and tell him you did so it rolls faster?

I hear Trump is hiring. Do you have any expertise in tax evasion or campaign skills? Those are in high demand these days.
But seriously, get your resume together if you didn't already when the rumors of a buyout/sale/merger, or whatever it is that your company is going through. Make sure at the very least that no one else knows how to do your job. Keep tight control, share as little as possible. Better still, hopefully you kept running tabs on your value to the company. Big projects managed, completed, hudge dollars saved, or revenue generated. IF you can't show any of those things, then, well you aren't really worth what you've been paid. Sorry, it's just business. And there are plenty of newbs looking for work, but if you already HAVE a job, you are more interesting to companies that are hiring. Good luck."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch

Chicago is so fucking cold I once found a body on the side walk walking home from the L. About a minute later his wife walked out calling his name.

OP, I'm involved in a couple/several of these transitions annually. On the spectrum; someone will be the biggest sitting duck and lose their job for sitting there like a moron, while someone else will take advantage of the turmoil and make a big leap or two up in their career. And every time, one or two people do make a big leap that would have never happened under prior circumstances. Good luck making this a great transition for you - or just go ski a lot. Stay out of the midwest, you may never escape.

Company being bought out
Went to college and later roomed with several south siders. Ardent Sox fans with disdain for all things from the ‘burbs; Ditka, the senior Daley and Fast Eddie Vrdolyak were deified. Every time we’d get a pizza (or in their lexicon, “a pie”), I was in for 20 minutes of gab about how great Chicago deep dish is and how pizza anywhere else sucks. They also drank Old Style and thought the only vegetable worth eating was canned corn

I just returned from lunch at a suburban Chicago “local fresh” eatery, where my grilled cheese sandwich came with thinly sliced pear—yes pear WTF—in the middle with the cheese (along with some other stuff).
This should be avoided.
