I was a network tech back in those days and they had been to a big conference in Spain, some manager put forward plans to get the network engineers working shifts, as it would save the company a lot of money in overtime!
The guy who put this proposal forward didn't consider the extra network techs he would need to take on, or there would be no-one about to fix faults in the daytime  that just about sums up ntl management!
I remember as usual all the techs were up in arms about the plans, but when it came to the meeting one or two were kissing his backside, the majority sat there quiet as mice, and it just left me and another guy to tear him to shreds.
