You might be well concerned, but not that well infomred. Don't believe all the office gossip. A few matters of 'reality' intrude on your scenario.

A NOC operated by those who could not control in the first instance and who subsequently ran away to a management hole, all is lost.

Alas, I have descended back into my restructure initiated depression, do not weep for me as the whiskey is still fine. :}
