basically, guy A finds out he didnt get the job and hears third hand that guy B said some comments, enough for the guy not to get a job. now in court, the company is potecting itself by saying that guy B was uncompimentary about guy A and thought that his comments were confidential. they are until guy A finds out and now it has gone thus far ie court, everyone is covering themselves, but moral is, watch what you say about people, especially as guy B had no real professional comment as they were both FO's
