    From what I hear, it's not what you know or your capabilities it's how much testosterone you exude and what click you're in......

        no don't can it

        Just look at it as an opportunity to 'hone your skills' as there won't be much work to do you can spend your time doing private work / development.

        Just realise if you are used to getting things done you need to understand its the public sector mentality as far as progress is concerned.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Vetran has hit the nail on the head. BT is still mired in state owned mentality. Don't rock the boat, don't make a fuss, sit quietly in the corner and do as you're told (even if that means you mostly do nothing).

          If you are the go-getting, dynamic, pro-active sort of person, you will hate every second of it.
