Sirius Plans That Never Materialised

LISTENING to audio from almost a year ago (we have about 5 hours of audio from last summer; this was shared with staff), it now seems clear that Sirius 'Open Source' had a lot of fantasies while drifting further and further away from... well, 'Open Source'.
"...it now seems clear that Sirius 'Open Source' had a lot of fantasies while drifting further and further away from... well, 'Open Source'."In the start of summer (2022-06-01) we had a second meeting (out of 3 in total) about the future of the company and studying it in retrospect it's easy to understand witch-hunts, scare tactics etc. Colleagues were subjected to threats and were isolated from their peers. They deemed this approach "evil" (direct quote).
"Colleagues were subjected to threats and were isolated from their peers. They deemed this approach "evil" (direct quote)."Much of the 'meat' of the meeting starts a long time after the start with staff that's actually technical (and actually doing all the work, even 24/7) raising questions while the others repeat the same talking points. Basically, managers (which at that point where like half of all the staff) were discussing many options and presenting each. They collected suggestions from staff and eventually threw all of them out. Staff was a bit surprised that after these consultations every suggestion from the staff was rejected. Every single one of them!
"Staff was a bit surprised that after these consultations every suggestion from the staff was rejected. Every single one of them!"One of the self-appointed managers (no relevant skills whatsoever) was discussing the scoring criteria -- e.g. what will be assessed in appraisals. She was only reading the script/presentation. It's highly probable she was fully aware of the pension fraud and she may have directly participated in that. An opportunistic career-climbing narcissist. The discussion continued about criteria e.g. sick leave (my wife and I never took even one day off for illness/feeling unwell) and one colleague was so uncomfortable about the meeting that he left his microphone on mute and turned off the camera for the entire meeting.
As noted in the video above, the company lied about a lot of things, including new roles, hiring in the US, new clients in the US and so on. ⬆
