I took a contract at this great place with highly experienced team members which had been acquired by Verizon a year before. I was assured Verizon would not mess with the great thing they had going but slowly, almost all of them got fed up with the changes and left, including our manager.

It was not just our team, almost every week there would be a "bye and thanks for all the fish" email from some higher up.

Just last week was talking to a recruiter who told me of massive layoffs on that place last year.
