+1, witness how the company needs changed from generalists to specialists.

The experience is probably quite frustrating since every specialist they hire is supposed to handle their aspect of specialization better than you (otherwise why hire them?) - the support manager probably has better and more complicated pipelines for support, the ops guy probably owns various issues that were put on the backburner before.

Wrong way to think about it is try to squeeze yourself into a specialist position, and then keep wondering how did things get to be so bad.

Some right ways to think about it would include addressing some areas where specialization is missing (research? next-gen architectures?) or just moving on (to a different place).
