When the 'Issue' is People Who Speak About the Real Issue

Summary: Unable to justify its business practices, Sirius 'Open Source' starts a witch-hunt against people who found the courage to discuss the matter, both internally and in private (not naming the culprits)

THE above video covers what was published earlier today because verbal clarifications may help those with severe reading comprehension and/or a sinister agenda (that's Matthew Garrett).



The real chronology here is, I spoke about things wrong with the company (confidentially and internally). When that failed to work, repeatedly even, I consulted other people on the matter. Then started a campaign of retaliation against me -- an effort to silence me and cover things up, as usual. This is the new management style.

"There has been other petty stuff like going after staff for saying lies are lies, but never handling the actual lies or the liar."Among the many scandals (we still have many left to mention) Sirius staff members have a manager who brought 3 women (one former wife) into the company despite lack of relevant experience/skills, resulting in mistakes that clients noticed (for instance, pasting an entire handover into the command line!). An insider or outsider might joke that it looks like giving them jobs in exchange for sex. Apparently pointing this out is the issue, whereas the real issue remains unaddressed. But the main issue here has nothing to do with sex; the issue is lack of qualifications, overt nepotism, and special access given in exchange for bedroom stuff/favours. This is a well-known yet under-reported problem in the tech industry. Last year a whistleblower told us that she was compelled to have sex or even orgies in order to get/keep a job.

There has been other petty stuff like going after staff for saying lies are lies, but never handling the actual lies or the liar. CEOs won't hold themselves accountable. They won't investigate or fire themselves either, despite making ridiculous assertions to that effect.

This is what happens when pathological liars run a company, sometimes like a tightly-knit family in the "club" sense, not pseudo kinship that makes a better work atmosphere (companies acting like a family isn't the same as companies being actual families or sex partners).
