That is so true, when the chips are down everyone will look after number one. The managers prime motive in the currect situation is to survive and look after himself.

We also learned on Monday that the Head Of Operations in Teesside Steve Brown had been put on 30 days notice This guy has flogged his guts out over the past year

The same has happened in South Wales last month, I think the head of Operations (not a good guy in this case) and his sidekicks were in the same situation. Needless to say when his job was secure he secured the job of his sidekick the worst manager in the region. This is a guy who when a technician was given warnings about being lazy and disciplined by his manager. He is a guy who used to sit around the headend all day and all the other techs used to complain about him. After being given a good dressing down, for not doing his job he went off sick with stress, he returned and was shortly promoted to supervisor!
This guy has the cheek to call the techs lazy
They say poacher turned gamekeeper is the worst. The guy is hated by just about every tech there, I was told either a manager or senior tech went into see him on behalf of the techs. He said why dont they come in cos my door is always open. The guy said "Cos they think you are a ba****d" he apparently said "I'll show them what a ba****d is they can look out"
That just about sums up the quality needed to get on as a manager in ntl
