Bullies as Managers

THE sad story of Sirius ‘Open Source’ has been told here for a fortnight already. It started two Saturdays ago. In the video above I sum up the latest two parts in the series. We've covered about a third of the material so far.
"It seems like a miracle that the company even survived until the end of 2022, albeit with very heavy debt and a dodgy corporate structure."The short story is, the unqualified "managers" at the company (following tragedy and ordeals in the personal life of the founder) decided to assign classic "bullshit jobs" (tasks which serve no actual purposes), falsely accuse people, steer the company away from "Open Source" (which they neither understand nor use) and it didn't take long for the most important technical staff to leave. As a result, the company's infrastructure could barely be maintained anymore, hence outsourcing was seen as imperative. The sad thing is, innocent people were being accused of things they had not done, and tasks previously done by people who left (could not stand the new "managers") could not be completed. It seems like a miracle that the company even survived until the end of 2022, albeit with very heavy debt and a dodgy corporate structure. Its current registered address is actually the accountants' address (outsourced, obviously!). ⬆
This is not the company's address. The accountancy firm is based in this address.
