Sirius Drove Out the Staff

Bullies as Managers

Summary: Sirius turned from bad to worse; as debt increased and further loans were being taken actually essential workers were leaving and earlier this winter the company registered as its accountants’ address (envelopes are sent from an unregistered address, probably someone’s apartment near London or Bristol)

THE sad story of Sirius ‘Open Source’ has been told here for a fortnight already. It started two Saturdays ago. In the video above I sum up the latest two parts in the series. We’ve covered about a third of the material so far.

The short story is, the unqualified “managers” at the company (following tragedy and ordeals in the personal life of the founder) decided to assign classic “bullshit jobs” (tasks which serve no actual purposes), falsely accuse people, steer the company away from “Open Source” (which they neither understand nor use) and it didn’t take long for the most important technical staff to leave. As a result, the company’s infrastructure could barely be maintained anymore, hence outsourcing was seen as imperative. The sad thing is, innocent people were being accused of things they had not done, and tasks previously done by people who left (could not stand the new “managers”) could not be completed. It seems like a miracle that the company even survived until the end of 2022, albeit with very heavy debt and a dodgy corporate structure. Its current registered address is actually the accountants’ address (outsourced, obviously!).

This is not the company’s address. The accountancy firm is based in this address.
