Depending on the telco, craft may well be your friend.  Although
SBC [mis]management has often made me seethe with anger, craft
has _always_ been very helpful and truthful.

Rule of thumb:  The people who need a strong butt-chewing will
hide from you, shielded by subordinates and "meetings".  The
visible people want to help; keep in mind what can happen when
they like you better than their own management.

YMMV, of course.
