Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

I remember when this place actually felt good to be at, but that was before a certain (leaving this vague for a reason) group got hired in one big batch and shifted the whole dynamic. They built their own little group, pushed out the old guard, and now it is all gossip and maneuvering instead of just getting things done. I have been here around seventeen years and at this point I just want to do my job and go home without worrying about who is talking about who or what game is being played next.
