When the Employer Asks for 'Cool-off' After Attacking Innocent Staff (Which Backfires)

Summary: Today we focus on what Sirius 'Open Source' 'Inc.' (shell company) did to my wife this past November; it wasn't just irrational but suicidal (if the company could still be taken to court; it's trying to dodge the law at this point)

THE 'UK' CEO of Sirius 'Open Source' (it's a UK-based company, it only pretends to be American!) has aggravated/upset staff and now he's in a bit of a panic, trying to silence those whom he mercilessly hurt with false accusations and accusation inflation, basically looking to cover up misconduct and lying by simply shooting the messenger (who had spoken about this internally for years before doing anything else, however subtle).



"What sane person would go ahead with such a witch-hunt?"The series is getting longer and longer because the tail of scandals stretches further and further, almost as fast as we deplete what we have. We're receiving additional information, which helps explain what exactly happened earlier this winter. The company wants to pretend everything is normal, but in reality this is a total catastrophe.

The video above is commentary about the latest 3 memes and article. What makes it exceptional is the low quality of the accusation against my wife, Rianne. What sane person would go ahead with such a witch-hunt?

Shooting first, asking questions later? Sirius UK or Sirius Ukraine?
