Could I just throw in a comment or two. There is no point having a ruck on here about anything. It won't help.
Every person who works for Highland will be stressed out and angry/annoyed/upset/depressed* (Delete as appropriate) and having a b*tch fight on here isn't going to make anything any easier for anyone.
It is not the time nor the place to settle old scores or have a pop over some previous slight. Highland is obviously in trouble and hopefully it will get sorted out, but I can promise that even the senior management are probably unsure of what is going to happen next. If they are hunting for funding to save the company, then they aren't in control of that process and so there is little point in passing information on until something is sorted out one way or another.
As before, you all have my sympathies and best wishes, but please don't fall into the trap of in-fighting, especially not on a public forum.
