'But that depends on who is providing grist for the rumor mill. In this
situation, there is much CYA going on at all levels of the corporate
structure as well as among the federal regulatory and EMS agencies.

 

Here are my rule  for rumors: 

*         If management is aggressively trying to squelch certain
rumors, this usually means the rumors are very close to accurate. Start
paying more attention to them.
If management is content to let the rumors run free, then the rumors are
either way off base and/or management initiated. Start ignoring them.

*         If management singles-out a person or group for
rumor-mongering, they might be on to something big. Start paying more
attention to them.

 

Basically, I observe how management acts towards the rumor mill and
adjust my reactions accordingly.

And if you've ever put in any time in a large corporation, you know that
the 

rumor mill usually provides more accurate and timely information than
official 

channels, especially when it comes to bad news...
