Summary: Further to yesterday's update on Sirius 'Open Source' and its "Pensiongate" we can gladly report some progress following escalation to management; this is about tech and "Open Source" employees facing abuse at work, even subjected to crimes

THE Sirius series isn't quite over and we expect a lot more to be published about the pensions. Expect this to spill over to April as well.



When I started the series in December I didn't know how deep the rabbit hole would go; it pains me to know that myself and my colleagues got robbed.

Our solid plan to publish some EPO documents (earlier today) have thus been delayed somewhat; today we've instead devoted a lot of time to Sirius coverage.

Skyfall's upload imageThe gist of the video above is (it mended up a bit like a podcast of the pension fund's manager and myself), they now reckon they failed to provide a good service, they recognise the severity of the matter, and things will -- or at least should -- be progressing a lot faster from now on.

The saddest thing in all this is (there is a lot), it took me almost 3 hours on the phone (I pay for these calls) to finally get to the boss and we've already lost about 3 months while Sirius was hiding itself and hiding what's left of it. This really should have progressed months ago, but NOW: Pensions was uncooperative and unattentive. Since January it kept lying to me and to my wife, who has a plan there too.
