THE nepotism at Sirius was almost tolerable until colleagues found out they had been denied access to certain systems that far less qualified and barely-experienced colleagues were able to access. And why? Bedroom politics.
"The company's management wasn't willing to tackle the problem and instead viewed critics as the problem."Bedroom politics is a recurring theme at Sirius and it's further exacerbated by the fact that we're talking about people without relevant qualifications and experience, having the audacity to suggest that people who work in daytime (like two bedroom partners) should be paid more than technical staff that's on the beat all night long (with further disturbance to sleeping patterns owing to shift alternations about 6 times per month, akin to jetlag with all the lasting health implications).
"Sirius is going to find out that covering up abuses is a short-term strategy and a terrible technique/method for quelling dissent."The company's management wasn't willing to tackle the problem and instead viewed critics as the problem. Even if those critics merely discussed the matter outside of work without even naming the company or the people.
Sirius is going to find out that covering up abuses is a short-term strategy and a terrible technique/method for quelling dissent. It'll all come out eventually. As noted in the report below, the company already has a history when it comes to that and it already resulted in major staff exodus; the reputation of the company cannot be redeemed by creating more and more "shells" as people inevitably find out who's who (or where they came from).
Dear all,
I believe I was unfairly treated on several grounds, including relevant protocols pertaining to several aspects. I will spare you the details but can elaborate if needed.
Here is the gist of the issues:
1. No due process 2. Verbal/oral distortion of claims 3. You misrepresented alleged evidence, but conveniently presented it as facts to my wife 4. No hard evidence presented (just a reference to a handbook we lack a copy of) 5. Rather gross accusation inflation against a person whom you did not even speak to
There are more points, but I shall keep this brief.
The company has a history doing this to couples, e.g. one blind colleague based in Germany; it was very serious and it went to court, based on a trusted source (it cost the company and/or its Directors -- ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ and ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ -- a lot of money, as went on for a long time; allegedly got settled at the end but injured the company).
We visited lawyers on Friday and on Monday. We spoke about the facts in length and have a good understanding of our rights.
We agreed that we don't yet wish to escalate this matter and would rather settle amicably.
Regards,
Roy,
