Cannot Trust Anything Management at Sirius ‘Open Source’ Ever Says

Summary: Sirius ‘Open Source’ has resorted to finger-pointing that distracts from the real culprits and covers up the real issues; a week ago I left my job after it had become too much to bear

Integrity of staff and reputation of people in the company where I worked apparently does not matter. For instance, lying to clients is an ethical breach, no matter how profitable it may seem at the time. Some of these clients are themselves unethical, but we don't wish to name clients in this series. We only focus on Sirius ‘Open Source’ or Sirius Corporation.



"There's much to be said about the Code of Conduct-like nature of some of the policies; never dare accuse management of lying, even if it is objectively lying. The issue or the pesky person will be perceived to be anyone who opposes lies."The video above goes through the latest two parts of the series, which cover two aspects from the report we had left a day before resigning. There's much to be said about the Code of Conduct-like nature of some of the policies; never dare accuse management of lying, even if it is objectively lying. The issue or the pesky person will be perceived to be anyone who opposes lies.
