Summary: When staff is being lied to and clients are being lied to maybe it’s time to leave the workplace, for risk of becoming complicit in those lies

SOME hours ago we shared an example of Sirius ‘Open Source’ staff being told off for stating the truth or being honest with a client. We’ve sadly come to a point, especially this year, where the company was mostly about optics (like hiding its true financial state) rather than substance. Bad decisions had been made for years and nobody took responsibility for those bad decisions; worse yet, there were lousy attempts to retroactively justify such decisions.

I left at the start of this month and now I get to tell my story. My story is probably similar to many other people’s especially in the technical domain or “IT” sector; many people may experience the same things at a current employer or maybe experienced those things in past (prior) employers.
