[Meme] Stole 100,000 Pounds, Gained 100 Pounds

They did this to a lot of programmers and GNU/Linux engineers at Sirius (deductions taken, but embezzled)

Some payslips



Louise Menezes/Louisa Catherine Menezes: Gaining my pounds
In Sirius (of the past decade) you needn't demonstrate technical skills but an immovable will to cooperate in illegal stuff



Some payslips 2



Louise Menezes/Louisa Menezes: Stealing my pounds (and colleagues' also); So I can party a lot The technical staff at Sirius worked from 5:30PM, overnight, until 9AM! She never worked at night. She partied. In daytime she casually harassed technical staff. "I can't code, but I can harass people who do..." (reference)



Some payslips 3



Louise Menezes/Louisa Catherine Laura Menezes: It's over 9,000!
With her in the helm, the company clocked close to 9,000 pounds in theft (from me alone, not counting all the colleagues) so she can party at night and her boss can take the family (4 people) to super-expensive Disney trips abroad



Some payslips 4



Summary: The Crime Assistant of the CEO of Sirius 'Open Source' had the audacity to bully people whom she robbed or helped rob; It seems fair to estimate that the worth of the money stolen in secret by the company was 100,000 British Pounds (maybe more); pension providers have helped the cover-up for years (they were contacted, but they stonewalled or obstructed victims; even after admitting there was fraud they would not cooperate in identifying who the victims were!)
