Wildfiring 

Mass firing or purge of employees without proper review, resulting in massive destruction of human resources in a government agency or business. Often the firings are blanket firing of groups of people in certain areas, or types of employees easy to fire with the ability to appeal. The employees are often people who have no clue as the function and value of the employees and do no analysis of the implications and costs of the firing.

In some cases the firings are in retaliation for people excelling at their job, especially when it impacts special interests, with self interests vs the governments or the company.
A major wildfiring occurred when 300 employees responsible for Nuclear Weapons Securing were fired without notice and understanding of the implications, and there email and contact information was lost.

Attempts to rescind the order after the implications became apparent to those in charge of national security were made difficult and unsuccessful in the timeframe needed to prevent a emergency situation and possible catastrophe.

It is very difficult to undo a wildfiring as much of the devastation to the human resources has been done by destroying the productive capacity of the institution.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
