In my reality the shop floor is not allowed to comment on something that is seen as vital to a corporation's interests at all. This in order not to destroy carefully crafted statements by the spokespeople vetted by the lawyerpeople. Such statements tend to be designed to hide the bad news and amplify whatever snippets of good news can be found. The *perceived* "affluence" of *comptetent* technical people has an effect on this: It makes the shop floor *much less* likely to talk even to peers for fear of their jobs. Daniel
