Revealed: crisis of confidence rocking MoD to the core

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is suffering a severe and deteriorating crisis of confidence among its staff because of cutbacks and bad management, according to an internal survey leaked to the Sunday Herald.

Most MoD civil servants no longer believe their managers can steer them through difficult times, feel more negative about almost every aspect of working for the MoD than they did a year ago, and their morale is much worse than the rest of the civil service.
