No need to be sorry, I of all people agree with openness but not when it extends to just feeding the rumour mill, especially with somene who takes such delight in spreading the word.
There's quite enough of the rumour mill grinding to be had within the company without somene who appears to be fairly senior releasing info to someone like th'eng (he knew the dates of the tier uplift before I did....) In this case it's absolutely irrelevant and will just drop the morale of staff some more which does no body any favours apart from a little ego massaging.

I'm sure the 12,000 of us left really enjoy having this stuff rubbed in our faces, it's none of your bloody business this stuff stop obsessing about your cable company for God's sake it's ridiculous. When the service works be happy, when it doesn't you have the absolute right to know what has gone wrong, what goes on behind closed doors that doesn't concern you is none of your £^%$ÃƒÆ ’ƒâ€šÃ‚£% business.
Yes my comments are in no small part due to whomever the leaker is being rather nosey, and a lot better informed apparently about everything including my job and things surrounding it. Is wonderful I'm sure for the morale of all of the staff knowing that someone high up cares more about leaking to you than informing their own staff.
Escapee: I am rather bored of your sympathy, you left the company a while ago, stop painting the rest of us out as being depressed, overworked, etc. Some levels no doubt are but some are ok. Fact is NTL was heavily overweight of people compared to its' peers in the rest of the world, so redundancies and consolidation were an absolute necessity. Far too many sites with work spread over them.
The only thing I agree with you about is engineers on the ground at service tech and network level, I'd love to see more of them.
Anyway must go, I have a gun to my head and am being forced to work the last 24 hours of my 72 hour shift now.....
