Sirius 'Open Source' Truly Rogue Since 2019 (Deceiving Everyone, Even Its Own Staff)



Video download link | md5sum 168a92bcf2df638d7400bf9c47205e22 Sirius Lied to Staff About Contract Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0



Summary: Sirius 'Open Source' developed a culture of chronic lying (managers lying to technical people) and even tricking people into signing contracts stacked against their interests; this must be exposed to the world

THE part just published is explained a little further in video form above, adding additional information to what we put in textual form. Expect another fortnight or so before the series ends.



"If the company wasn't "in hiding", this would merit a more formal investigation by appropriate regulators."I still try my best to most accurately explain the situation and any possibilities obscured by the NDA with the Gates Foundation. The video discusses yesterday's meme and article before proceeding to the latest part. It notes that yesterday I spoke to NHS staff (there's a very poor opinion about the Gates Foundation among health workers) and how Microsoft targeted a boss above the boss (CEO), sending its faux "open source" people (under false pretexts) to complain about me even more than half a decade ago. Yesterday I spoke to a lawyer again, forming progressively better explanations of what had actually happened as there are many angles to cover (and write down in simple words). It is all factual. Neither speculative nor defamatory. I know this company all 'too' well from the inside. I spent nights at the home of the CEO.

The company is in a state of panic. The brand is ruined. As noted in the latest part, apparently a relative of management was invited* while the CEO was absent. The technical staff had not seen him in person since around 2017 or 2018! Who would take such a company seriously? _______ * Such nepotism (relatives as staff; no experience or qualifications need to be met!) would only become a lot worse over time. This one relative was hired to work on technical things in a technical role. He could never solve issues, he was young and inexperienced, he had no access capability (to actually tackle issues); to be fair, for Sirius it was very hard to recruit at this price point (very low salaries for a highly demanding set of skills). This kind of nepotism harmed morale in the company, as it always eventually leads to ruinous (but truthful) gossip among colleagues. It wasn't just this one person either; imagine seeing one colleague kissing on the mouth a colleague who is not his wife, who also used to work in the company (or bracing in public two girls at once; not good... unsociable optics). Suffice to say, there is a "toxicity" associated with the realisation that the Support Manager already brought into the company three sexual partners as members of staff, none of whom qualified in a relevant field and/or with no relevant work experience, likely just to be shadowed by the partner. And it's even worse for workers' morale when owing to connections they have higher level access compared to far more senior staff (who is not sleeping with the manager). The girlfriends of the manager were not invited for contract-signing as they did the same behind the scenes, no pretences were needed. They were part of the "family". If the company wasn't "in hiding", this would merit a more formal investigation by appropriate regulators.
